The perfect quadrant of science communication! 😂 This meme brilliantly maps out the ecosystem of science YouTubers on two axes: from "theoretical reports" to "building stuff" and from "using PhD for entertainment" to "science is fun."
Top left: The serious academics who somehow turned their dissertation into clickable content (with periodic table elements as branding, naturally).
Top right: The "get smarter every day" crowd who make you feel intelligent while watching videos in your pajamas.
Bottom left: The theoretical purists who will spend 20 minutes explaining why your understanding of quantum mechanics is completely wrong.
Bottom right: The chaotic builders who blow things up "for science" and build ridiculous contraptions that would make their dissertation advisors weep.
And somehow we all end up binge-watching all four types at 2 AM instead of doing our actual science homework!
