Hey everyone. There's a new youtube feature that rolled out just yesterday that's raising some privacy concerns.

Expanding ways to share on YouTube

People in the U.S., U.K., Brazil, and Singapore can now share videos and chat with friends directly within the YouTube app. The update bring

This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

Trimming the source id (the stuff after the '?' in links) will also prevent this from happening.

The setting seems to only be on mobile, not on desktop--make sure you turn it off on mobile (the instructions above work for android--I don't have apple I so can't say if they differ)

A trend in the "nobody cares about me" crowd that they probably don't want to hear about but needs to be said anyway is that maybe sometimes people do care about you, you just won't let them.

[eldritchbauble]

If you alienate everyone close to you by demanding their time and energy but still complain that nobody cares about you because they aren't doing enough, that is actually a you problem.

[eldritchbauble]

Until YOU internalize what healthy love is, you won't feel loved no matter what anyone around you does. And in the process of yelling about how unfair it is you're harming the people who actually give a shit. Sometimes.

[eldritchbauble]

And this obviously (but stating anyway cuz Tumblr) isn't everybody who feels like nobody cares. But it is a trend I have seen in numerous people. It is, kinda, hard to care for someone if they're aggressive and hard to be around on a chronic basis.

[eldritchbauble]

It's disordered behavior, too, but that doesn't mean you have a free pass to lash out at people. It is your responsibility to evaluate reality vs. your trauma in relationships and not make it other peoples' jobs to emotionally regulate you for you.

[eldritchbauble]

OH, ALMOST FORGOT, ALSO VERY IMPORTANT:

While relationships should be a relatively equal amount of give and take, you doing things for others that they never asked for nor expected of you and then being angry when they don't give 150% back is also a problem. It doesn't mean you're a nice person who's selfless and always giving to others. It means that you're not practicing healthy boundaries and you need to learn that Being Useful doesn't make people love you any more. If you unbalance the scale it isn't fair to come back at people with resentment when they practice healthy boundaries, i.e. respecting their own needs and limits and not centering you in every part of their lives.

I actually highly recommend looking into codependency if this is a thing for you.

[eldritchbauble]

VIOLATING YOUR OWN NEEDS AND BOUNDARIES DOES NOT MAKE YOU LOVABLE; YOUR RESENTMENT IS A BURDEN TO OTHERS.

[demilypyro]

y'all a bunch of fake fans. Slay the Spire? Potionomics? Shadowverse? Balatro? Poker Night at the Inventory?? Triple Triad??? I feel like I stream card games all the time. card-based gameplay is a mainstay of the Demily Pyro brand!

not to be a pedant but this sort of post annoys me so bad bc ☝️☝️ in fact it’s the reverse: fantasy series often reflect societal biases. there is nothing evolutionarily “menacing” about wasps in comparison to bees. bees have better PR because we like to eat the stuff they make. that’s literally it. “agur only destruction” as if wasps don’t fill many of the SAME ecological roles as bees. they’re pollinators! they CREATE!!

people just assign moral value to living beings based on their own feelings and aesthetic choices. something that’s very common in fiction and one of the fantasy genre’s most notable flaws.

got cornflakes for fried chicken & the back of the box has its own recipe. easy as pie. "rinse chicken tenders with cold water and coat with crushed kelloggs corn flakes cereal." and then cook. no binding agent. no seasoning. nothing but a pile of flavorless chicken with a side of the extra-dried-out cornflakes that fell off it. serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce. doesnt even say serve hot. Serve Warm. wouldnt wanna get too wild with it. truly this is the spirit of cornflakes
