This post talks about a new DM feature in youtube. What it fails to mention is that as part of this new feature is that when you send someone a link to a video, and they open it in the youtube app, they will see who sent them the link. Specifically, your channel name.

If your google account name is your real name, so is your channel name by default.

This means the new default behavior is that everyone you send a youtube link to will see your full name if they open it in the mobile app.

To turn this off:

Go to your youtube app settings

Go to Privacy

Turn off "Channel visibility for shared links"

One of my good friends are a famous singer in my country. I've never talked to him about Larry and he's not in the fandom, but earlier this year when Louis' tour started, and ZmcD followed him around all over Europe, I asked him what his thoughts were about that as a musician. My friend was married until earlier this year. He said that his ex-wife has NEVER joined him when he's on tour. Because she has her own life and her own job. Obviously she has been to SOME of his shows, but she has always been backstage or at a VIP box, never in the middle of the crowd/near the sound booth. He also said that it's weird af that they're trying to pretend that she's staying in the tour bus with Louis and the band. He said "my band would almost find it disrespectful if I brought my ex wife for an entire tour. It kinda ruins the dynamic". He said, and I quote:

"There are two options here:

1. They have the most toxic and insecure relationship ever (Her having to be with him for everything he does. Even fan events like signings).

2. The relationship is fake."

Today I showed him the clip of ZK in the middle of the pit during Harry's show yesterday, and told him that she was in the pit for almost all of his Amsterdam shows. And he was honestly shocked. He was like "I thought this Zara girl was embarassing, but to stand in the middle of the PIT?" Just like with Louis and Zara, he said that NO WAY this is a real relationship. I told him a bit about their previous "relationships", and he said:

"So... Two guys that was in One Direction are both in fake relationships, and, from what I understand, have been in multiple fake relationships since the beginning of the band. Are we sure they're not in a secret closeted relationship?"

And I've never loved him more. I told him about Larry, and showed him some of their lyrics, and now he's fully convinced. "Why didn't you tell me all of this earlier? They are literally screaming that they love each other"

💚💙😭

(He also told me that if I had shown him these gifs years ago, he would have become a Larrie already during the band)

!!! UPDATE:

My friend has some friends in the music industry in London. He texted me this today:

I got curious, so I asked **** if he had ever heard about Harry and Louis being together. His answer were "EVERYONE in the music industry in England knows about Larry Stylinson. It's an open secret here, and probably in the US as well". Not that I doubt what you told me yesterday, but always great to get some more proof, right?
