Memes have even shaken up the stock market! Remember the GameStop saga? It all started with a meme-fueled frenzy on Reddit, where users rallied behind the stock. The result? A massive surge in prices that no one saw coming. Who would’ve thought memes could turn the financial world upside down?

And then there’s Dogecoin, the joke that turned into a million-dollar reality. What started as a meme coin shot up in value overnight, all thanks to internet hype and a few celebrity tweets. It’s a perfect example of how meme culture can influence real-life markets. In a way, memes now have buying power. Literal buying power.

According to Instagram, meme sharing has doubled in just a few years. Back in 2018, users shared around 500,000 memes daily. By 2021, that number soared to over a million per day! That’s a whole lot of memes being sent, tagged, and screenshotted. Clearly, we’re not just scrolling anymore; we’re memeing our way through life.
