Even when well meaning sometimes malicious code can slip through like with smarttubenext due to a compromised machine.
So I think people forget that just because something is foss doesn't mean it is automatically safe and caution can be thrown to the wind. Skepticism and being overcautious is still good practice before installing things.
I like to wait a while before installing new updates just to see if anything is caught by the community to try to reduce potential risk.
Yeah, I don't feel like being part of the reason algorithm pushes shit titles like this on youtube.
