Sorry, can you explain? My understanding is that transistors don't "dump" electrons anywhere. The gate controls the voltage, which in the `0` state forces resistance to be high enough s.t. current flow through that transistor stops.
As the Veritasium video explains [0], current flow is not a literal flow of electrons, but a state of the electromagnetic field (or something to that effect... it's been many years since my electromagnetism university courses).

- kragen 3y agocurrent flow isn't always a literal flow of electrons, but in a wire or transistor it is you probably should trust your electromagnetism textbook more than a youtube video
