A couple YouTube tabs are enough if you leave them running for long enough. Just one YT browser process will easily take up 1-4GB sooner or later.

Or it won’t because Chrome and MacOS will know how much RAM is available and manage it effectively.

A couple Facebook Marketplace tabs that have videos of the item for sale would absolutely crush my 2017 MacBook Pro.

My M1 Air would slow down a little, but was still usable doing the same thing. And they both had 8GB of memory.
