Why it worked

The video likely resonated by tapping into the common narrative of computer science being a lucrative field, while simultaneously offering a counter-narrative of success and aspiration through aspirational imagery. The contrast between the initial warning and the subsequent display of wealth creates a compelling 'don't listen to the haters' message.

Summary

The video starts with a person pointing at code on a projector screen, with text overlay suggesting that people will be told to quit computer science because they won't make money. It then transitions through various scenes of luxury and travel, implying that the initial advice should be ignored.
