When you believe you're educated about a certain subject by watching several Youtube videos, when in reality, you don't know shit compared to most people who do actual research, and you're just parroting what you heard on a Youtube video with no real citations or sources. Mostly popular with 9/11 conspiracists, global warming deniers, etc.
Tim: John, I'm telling you, global warming is a total hoax, I've seen several youtube videos debunking it!
John: No Tim, you're just youtube educated, and have no idea what the fuck you're talking about compared to people who actually have an education in studying the climate, and have done the research.

Get the Youtube Educatedmug. The phenomenon in which one navigates to a single video hosted on Youtube (either by URL from email, friend, forum post, by searching, or otherwise) and find yourself clicking on related videos until you wake up hours later to find yourself watching Chocolate Rain for the umpteenth time or enjoying the musical stylings of Rick Astley.
The YouTube Effect can apply to any other video, image, music, etc. site that shows related files or pages on whatever page you are viewing.

Shit, I told myself I'd only watch that ONE Lady Gaga video on YouTube, but before I knew it, it was 3 AM and I was watching mindless crap like fat ladies yelling at skater kids. Damn YouTube Effect...

Get the YouTube Shortsmug. Such a cesspool of illiteracy, misogyny, racism, idiocy, hatred, violence, barbarism, intolerance and general lack of humanity has not been seen since the middle ages.
Youtube comments, approach with caution lest you wish to be stripped of all that makes you human. The unreputable proof that there has been no evolution, god made us retarded.

Get the YouTube Commentsmug. The red and green bar under a YouTube video that shows the number of likes (green) and dislikes (red) which closely resembles a Lightsaber from the Star Wars films. More green than red makes it resemble a Jedi Lightsaber and more red than green makes it resemble a Sith Lightsaber.
So many people dislike this video that the red YouTube Lightsaber looks like Darth Vader's Lightsaber.

Viewer 2: "Nah I still have some hope left for humanity, don't wanna lose it"
