Named for the geological concept of a mineral vein, a vast region of a particular valuable mineral which may lie hidden inside solid rock until a miner or digger inadvertently punches through and discovers it.
A YouTube vein is a huge collection of similar and interesting videos on YouTube, which you had never been aware existed, and which you discovered through the "Related Videos" list on some other video. The Related Videos list on each video within the vein will similarly lead to a huge number of other videos inside the vein, so that once you enter the vein, you can be exploring it for hours via the Related Videos links.
It may be difficult to get out of the vein, because if it's large enough, all of the related videos on almost all of the videos within the vein will lead to more videos within the vein, in an inescapable closed circuit. Conversely, once out it can be difficult to get back in (without using the browser's Back button) because by definition, the videos that lead into the vein are obscure and don't come up often in searches and related-videos lists. It's only a vein if its entry points are in that way hard to come by or obscure, but once inside it proves to be enormous.

Get the YouTube veinmug. A YouTube commenter is typically a basement dwelling neckbearded asshole who has absolutely nothing to do with their sad lives other than be a total self righteous prick on the internet and ruins everyone’s day as a result these same people will stone you to death the very second they find someone it you did something shitty years ago and you don’t do it anymore like cyberbully someone even tho there’s a good chance they are guilty of being assholes themselves and anytime you mention that they probably are guilty of being assholes they say shit like “oh you’re projecting” but that’s really not true at all they’re just saying that I’m projecting becuase they not only don’t know why I telling them that but it’s also because they don’t want to acknowledge that they guilty of being assholes
Hi I’m a YouTube commenter and I think I’m a sinless angel that doesn’t deserve even a slap on the wrist because I think I’m better than everyone else

Get the king of youtubemug. A person who watches Youtube videos all day long, to only start quoting the lines they hear from the videos. These can be quotes are usually from comedic movie or game reviews and this person would take it seriously. The person would then use what they heard in jokes, arguments, or just wanting to say it. The repeats can continue for weeks after watching the video which can be due to the person watching the same video over and over again.
If one were to hang out with this person be prepare to start hearing a constant line of quotes the one might not even care about.
