Why Everyone on the Internet is Suddenly an Expert (Even Me)

From geopolitics to gluten-free diets, the internet has turned us all into instant experts—armed with half-read headlines, YouTube degrees, and unshakable confidence. Here’s a satirical look at how we graduated top of our class at YouTube University (and why that’s both hilarious and terrifying).

Welcome to YouTube University 🎓

Somewhere between the first lockdown and the third, we all quietly enrolled in the world’s most prestigious, least accredited institution: YouTube University.
Majors: Everything.
Graduation rate: 100%.
Textbooks: Zero.

I now hold honorary degrees in epidemiology (YouTube, 2020), supply-chain logistics (Reddit, 2021), and advanced missile defense systems (TikTok, 2023). My next thesis? Why my coffee tastes better in a mason jar—Instagram Reels pending.

The Instant Expert Starter Pack

  • One headline skimmed in passing
  • A six-minute explainer video with ominous background music
  • A confident “As I’ve been saying…” tone
  • The bravery to speak louder than people who actually know stuff

Fields of Study in 2025

  • Nutrition: Eat carbs. No, wait—don’t.
  • Finance: Crypto is dead… unless it’s going to moon tomorrow.
  • Fitness: The one exercise you’re doing wrong is… all of them.
  • History: I read a meme; therefore, I know what happened.

It’s Not Knowledge, It’s Performance

Real expertise is hard work. Fake expertise? That’s theatre. We’re not just sharing facts; we’re performing knowing—hand gestures, bullet points, and maybe a sarcastic laugh. Accuracy optional.

The Only Real Rule

In the age of infinite feeds, it’s not about being right—it’s about being first, loudest, and most meme-able.

“Well, as an expert, I can tell you…”

Congratulations. Another diploma earned.

If this gave you a laugh (or an honorary PhD), share it with your fellow ‘experts’—because the world deserves more confident nonsense.
