YouTube Monetization Diet

The act of removing things from past or future YouTube uploads to increase your potential earnings for your channel. Things removed can include, but are not limited to: profanity, references to drugs and alcohol, copyrighted material, mature (or immature) humor, violence, guns, and dangerous stunts. To a lesser extent, ceasing production of material suitable for YouTube Kids can be considered part of this diet. Side effects of this diet may include compulsory stretching of videos to 8 minutes, bugging people to like and subscribe, and generally being a douche.

YouTuber 2: Maybe so, but now I can afford to buy a hamburger today!

Stealthie 

when you're holding up your phone and making faces at it, as though you are taking a selfie, but you're really taking a picture of the person across from you or the wall or anything else that seems interesting but you don't want to be caught dead taking a picture of.

This action is often made more convincing by wiggling the eyebrows or opening the mouth, to pretend you're trying to get a Snapchat filter to work.
FRIEND A: "Did you just take a stealthie of me?"

FRIEND B (turning phone around): "no I was just using snapchat's new filter, see?"
