YouTube Survivorship Bias

The famous WWII survivorship bias diagram strikes again! During the war, engineers analyzed returning planes to decide where to add armor. They marked bullet holes (red dots) on returned aircraft—but the critical revelation was that they should armor the unmarked areas , since planes hit there never made it back. YouTube's anti-adblock crusade perfectly mirrors this logical fallacy. They're only measuring revenue from users who stick around after being forced to disable adblock—completely missing all the users who just abandon the platform entirely. It's like optimizing your codebase by only listening to the three users who didn't rage-quit after your UI redesign.

The Infinite Loop Trap

OH. MY. GOD. The most diabolical infinite loop known to mankind! This sticky note is basically the real-world implementation of while True: print("I'll be back in 5 mins") and I am DYING! 😂 It's the recursion that never ends! That poor soul waiting for their colleague to return might as well settle in for eternity. The sheer AUDACITY of creating a physical infinite loop without a break statement should be illegal in at least 17 countries! And the worst part? There's no exception handling for human patience. Your options are either wait forever or realize you've been absolutely bamboozled by the oldest trick in the programmer's book of practical jokes.
