I've had players coming from D&D 5th Edition who want to homebrew Pathfinder 2e rules that cost you an action to move, raise a shield, and do other things, as well as the Multiple Attack Penalty. I've had videos about rules I think should be ignored or changed in PF2, but THESE are not some of them!
0:00 Intro
2:50 Can't break up movement
12:24 Action to Stride/Stand/Climb/Swim
15:15 Multiple Attack Penalty
17:15 Having to raise your shield
20:25 Action to Recall Knowledge
21:49 Action to Interact
30:34 Why these rules help the game
45:52 Outro
Here are two videos where that discussion came up:
"D&D YouTubers FRUSTRATED by the 3 Action Economy" (Mar. 14, 2023)

"D&D YouTubers react to how SCARY higher-level foes are in Pathfinder 2E! Clips + post-discussion" (June 20, 2023)
