The Northernlion Effect

Watching someone struggle and try to incorrectly solve / play / use a simple puzzle / game / item for so long, that you get enraged and obtain the same puzzle / game / item just to solve it, just to satisfy your need for the easier solution, which you figured out while watching the person.

"Holy crap, I was watching Northernlion play 'Baba Is You' and he just would not GET how easy it is to solve that level, so I just gave up and bought the game myself and beat it."
"Yeah dude, I almost broke my screen, screaming the answer at him, and got the game too."
"It's like The Northernlion Effect or something, it keeps happening every time I watch him play a game."

*Does it immediately afterwards*
Chat: The SimpleFlips Effect strikes again!
