AFK inflation

AFK inflation refers the increase of the amount of screen time you're supposed to have in order to catch up latest YouTube videos that happens whilst the amount of screen time you're able to have remains the same. There are quite a few causative factors that can cause AFK inflation, e.g. having many YouTube channels uploading new videos at the same time.

After a week of being busy, I felt the effects of AFK inflation hit hard; with dozens of new uploads waiting for me, I realized I’d need to binge-watch for hours just to catch up latest YouTube videos!

Short for 'Ass Fucking Kids', pedophiles and nerds will often use this and cover it up by saying they simply stepped away from keyboard because they're too ashamed and don't want to be arrested.

Person A: AFK baby acting up.
Person B: I'm calling the cops.

AFK pain

AFK pain refers to the pain caused by feeling missing out the latest YouTube videos whilst you've been unable to watch YouTube for extended periods of time. AFK pain feels even more intense as you go to bed whilst having not watched YouTube during the day, which is as unpleasant as going to bed whilst being hungry. AFK pain is more commonly experienced by persons who have subscribed to lots of YouTube channels in a row (i.e. 600+ channels) compared to those who subscribe to few to no YouTube channels.

After a long day of family drama and no YouTube, I felt that serious AFK pain creeping in as I lay in bed, knowing I had missed out on all the latest uploads.

childhood AFK moments

Unavoidable compared to AFK moments after reaching adulthood, childhood AFK moments are cause by at least one of the following causes: a) The screen time limits imposed by parents, b) Going to K-12 school campuses with strict restrictions on smartphone usage like requiring students to collect smartphones during school hours, which in itself already causes daily AFK moments, c) Raised by the family who cannot afford screen devices like smartphone, and d) Growing up in rural areas with poor Internet signal reception.

Growing up in a rural area meant I had plenty of childhood AFK moments—between school rules and no internet, I was often offline and didn't even mind!
