In communities, UGC-driven meme culture forms a meritocratic gift economy: creators gain status via virality & peer recognition, not formal hierarchy. Norms are enforced through imitation, remixing, and ratio-ing; power flows to those mastering irony, timing, and cultural resonance. Exclusion is swift for norm-breakers.
