Content quality Memes

Remember when tech influencers actually knew what a linked list was? Now they're basically glorified clickbait farms telling you to "smash that subscribe button" while an AI writes their entire tutorial. The devolution is real: from teaching data structures and algorithms to "10 ChatGPT prompts that will CHANGE YOUR LIFE" with a thumbnail that looks like they just witnessed a server crash. The "back then" era had people building compilers for breakfast. Now it's all engagement metrics and affiliate links to courses they didn't even create. Quality content got replaced by the algorithm's demands, and here we are.

The eternal struggle of programming subreddits in one executive order. Every month, someone posts a "vibe check" meme that's just code screenshots with colored backgrounds and zero substance, and they rack up 10K upvotes while actual technical jokes die in new. Meanwhile, the mods are fighting a losing battle against the karma farmers. It's like watching democracy fail in real-time, but with more syntax highlighting.
