Not to be mistaken for a term for "straight-A student", the slang term "ambitious" is a pejorative adjective referring to someone who experiences burnout due to encountering burdensome behavior requirement to get more screen time from parents in order to watch YouTube. Usually, people who are "ambitious" are the ones who have insane subscription numbers, i.e. 600+ YouTube channels.
After trying to keep up with 600+ YouTube channel subscriptions and constantly fulfilling my parents' demands for more screen time, I’ve become so ambitious that I’m completely burned out.
