A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.

This video talks about it.
He talks about a Discord server where they pay people to do it. Not like editors or employees which are perfectly fine and make sense, but to hire other people to do it:

If you clip their stuff they'll you via their campaigns through that Discord server. It's to game the algorithm to make people think that other people are really interested in this to push them up the charts.
He brings up a good point in the video where he talks about how this should be considered advertising as opposed to natural content and labelled as such but laws around this are not clear.
