I was reviewing all of my app subscriptions and was reminded that Todoist now considers me a "Legacy Pro" subscriber. So I won't get any new pro features ever.

A friend sends me a YouTube video. I watch a little of it, decide it's not that interesting to me, and bail out.
Next time I go into YouTube, that "sent from a friend" topic completely hijacks my recommended videos. The algorithm over-indexes on it for awhile.

What good are all of the new bike lanes if there’s nowhere to park a bicycle safely at the places you want to go to?

The 1MB limit on MCP tool results is such a drag. Especially difficult to bear with `mcp-neo4j-memory` tool, which almost always returns >1MB results if your knowledge graph has any real content in it. The tool itself doesn't have any kind of rate limiting options, either.
