Scalzi on Nostr: Just heard someone on a YouTube video tell viewers to "stay tuned" for something ...
Just heard someone on a YouTube video tell viewers to "stay tuned" for something coming up later, and I'm struck by how some phrases outlive their initial context. Literally, it makes no sense to say "stay tuned" on YouTube, but everyone still knows what it means and thinks nothing of it, even people who have probably never actually watched a TV channel via terrestrial transmission.
