dear diary. today i have seen youtube video that starts with words "please don't subscribe." i have officially seen everything 🤣
Lol, I honestly didn't even open the video. I just remembered this from ages ago and was trying to find the actual video she made and not some tech news place talking about it. It's unlisted so it was tricky. There was a link from her website about it.
Some info from the r/cassettefuturism post:
