They saved me during school

This is a 3-panel 2-column comparison meme. The first left panel shows an impossible, confusing Penrose staircase, paired with the right text 'Professor explaining the subject' to imply that a professor's in-class explanation of a subject is confusing and hard to follow. The second left panel shows an even more inaccessible, broken giant staircase extending up a foggy wall, paired with the text 'Me trying to study on my own' to convey that self-studying the same subject is even more difficult and disorienting. The third left panel shows clear, easy-to-use escalators and accessible stairs in a public space, paired with the text 'Indian guy on Youtube explaining the subject' to humorously state that free educational YouTube tutorials, most commonly made by Indian educators, make difficult subjects extremely simple and easy to understand for students, much better than both class lessons and self study.

This meme was originally shared on Reddit meme communities, as indicated by the provided source metadata. It taps into a widely relatable student experience where learners often turn to free YouTube educational content, particularly popular tutorials created by Indian educators, to understand complex school subjects that they failed to grasp from regular classes or independent study.
