Youtube algorithm Memes

When you've been coding for 14 hours straight and YouTube's algorithm hits you with "Not Everyone Should Code" while you're debugging your 157th null pointer exception of the day.

Nothing says "balanced career advice" like emotional whiplash between hope and despair in your YouTube recommendations. The algorithm knows exactly how to keep you in that perfect state of anxious engagement.
