I found a simple trick against this: just remove them. Accept it ain’t gonna happen man.
Well, yes, but the underlying issues still persist, so it's not exactly a sustainable strategy.
It’s mostly a joke, but often when I find todos they’re so old they’re no longer relevant.
Of course you shouldn’t blindly remove todos.
Don't just put "TODO". If they're in the final pull request, they need to mention a ticket that's intended to fix that TODO. If you/your team decides it's not important, then remove it and close out the ticket. Either way, you're required to do something with it.
