That's why there's an entire section Meme#Internet culture. PS: "apart" means 'separate from'; the words you are looking for are "a part". — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 19:16, 22 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The section for Internet should spawn another section, "Politics" due to the application and overlap in the last few USA presidential campaigns. The Internet is the site of political activity and memes are the language. Governmental and civic sector concern for "disinformation" is political and like the Internet is global in scale.

>Memes that replicate most effectively enjoy more success, and some may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.
The quoted portion exists in the introduction to this article, and I don't understand what application this could have to most memes, or what would constitute a "host" in this context. (E.g., would the host be the person or idea featured in a meme, the person that created and/or posted it to an online forum, or the online forum, itself?)
Unless a substantive reason can be provided for keeping this, I would like to remove it. At present, it does not seem to add to the article in a meaningful way. Goatvillage (talk) 03:48, 12 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
