You're allowed to need some space. You may feel better if you say so, rather than ghosting.
Something like:
"Sorry I've been ignoring our friendship, I've needed some space. I want to still be your friend, long term, in honor of what we've shared. I might still be quiet for awhile, but I'm okay and I appreciate you."
Friendships can go quiet for years and still be friendships, if both people don't mind.
I've always assumed that womp rats, being roughly 2 meters long, were intended as a kind of R.O.U.S. (Rodents of Unusual Size) and are presumably equally aggressive and dangerous.
I realize it's a stretch, but it's been stuck in my head canon since I first saw Star Wars.
YouTube with a custom app seems to be the best way to actually watch your own chosen subscriptions, rather than bent force fed by the Google algorithm.
I've heard folks talk about how to get this from regular YouTube, but it's wild to me that that put up with having to go to all the trouble with the official app.
It's pretty funny to watch a quick "check out our extended content on Nebula" video exit, then just immediately watch the extended content roll along with a thank you message. (Many creators simply add the Nebula exclusive bits directly to the end of the video, on Nebula.)
