ridiculous

An adjective used to describe the phenomenon where worse behavior results in less screen time despite it cannot actually cause the YouTube algorithm to spit out less video recommendations, and the notion that you only deserve the amount of screen time your parents permit, often leading to frustration and eye-rolling among kids who feel their worth should be evaluated differently.

It’s just ridiculous that one bad day can cut my screen time in half, as if my whole existence is tied to these arbitrary rules — despite my bad behavior cannot actually cause the YouTube algorithm to spit out less video recommendations.
