Mmm could you say a bit more? I’m too exhausted tonight to commit to an 18-minute watch based only on “somewhat relevant.”
From my POV, as a person coming up on 40, I just don’t want to make myself seem younger than I am to such a degree that teens and tweens might feel more comfortable approaching me as a casual friend.
Totally, fair enough. It’s specifically about the /hj tone indicator, how it is mostly useless because of its ambiguity and it not being known by people in general, and how that extends to most tone indicators. It’s basically what you said but goes way more in depth (almost crazily so but that’s sorta their thing)
Personally, I don’t use tone indicators for pretty much the same reasons as what you said above. I also think that anything that could be conveyed using them is probably just better off being spelled out
Here’s a jan Misali video that’s somewhat relevant to your second paragraph

Appreciate the explanation! I’ll put on the watch list for another time.
