Because they don't understand open source, some YouTubers have misled them by claiming that having more open source contributions guarantees a job. Certain companies even began offering T-shirts as incentives for increased contributions. In this specific instance, some irresponsible YouTubers created a video demonstrating how to send automated pull requests on Express, Node.js, and the Open Source Community, leading to a flood of viewers replicating the process. It's concerning when you reflect on the situation. 

 Wow, that would be a shock.
Imagine you wake up to that mess in your project. 

 Hmmm... 
Sounds like credentialism hitting open source.
Pad your resume with some PR spam. 

 Well but that sounds like a very short-term disruption.
