GitHub Search Gets Rickrolled

Description

A dark-mode YouTube results page in a browser shows the search box containing "github" and the filters panel open. The left navigation includes "Home", "Explore", "Subscriptions", "Library", and "History"; the filters list "UPLOAD DATE" options "Last hour", "Today", "This week", "This month", "This year", "TYPE" options "Video", "Channel", "Playlist", "Movie", "Show", "DURATION" options "Short (< 4 minutes)" and "Long (> 20 minutes)", "FEATURES" options including "Live", "4K", "HD", "Subtitles/CC", "Creative Commons", "360°", "VR180", "3D", "HDR", "Location", and "Purchased", and "SORT BY" with "View count" highlighted. The top result is "Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (Video)" with "911M views · 11 years ago", "Official Rick Astley", a lyric snippet starting "Never gonna give you up", and a 3:33 VEVO thumbnail, while the next visible result is "Github Tutorial For Beginners - Github Basics for Mac or Windows & Source Control Basics". The joke is that searching for GitHub tutorials by popularity somehow produces the canonical internet rickroll before the actual developer content.
