i fucked up… BIG time…
with youtube rolling out a new feature where your @(handles) can be different languages other than english, people discovered one-character channel handles were possible if they translate to english phrases with at least 3 characters
from there i jokingly decided to try and see if there were channels with a single emoji as their handle, because that would be funny if that actually could work! right? right???
one existed. it actually fucking existed. a channel with an emoji as their handle. this was (still is) LEGENDARY. and i was the second person to find this out, the first obviously being the channel that did it. so when i found out about this extremely valuable information, which of the following do you think i did?
claim one for myself
post the image above in a discord server full of people interested in this stuff
here's a hint - the latter. i did the latter
within 10 minutes of me posting that image, all 17 possible emoji handles were taken. they're actively selling them amongst each other for $5000-$10000 each. if i had kept my mouth shut i might've been able to claim a bunch of them on my own channels and sell them for $5k each after. but no, i did the exact opposite! it's upsetting that someone now has 4 of these ALL BECAUSE OF ME and yet i’m left with none. oh well i guess…
likes on wasteof are more valuable than usd anyways! right? right???
