Memetics is a much broader and more involved technique of influence than Pepe, Momiji and other pictures with a simple idea circulating. To me, it's a form of propaganda or maybe the other way around. Amazon has 250 books in their catalog related to memetics from a number of different subject areas. The U.S. Military studies memetics and has a memetic division.
Is it possible to conduct memetic operations on Youtube? I believe so. After entertaining myself with videos on Flat Erf and The Mandela Effect, I do believe I know how it's done. Videos on both of the aforementioned subjects followed a simple pattern. The purpose of the related operations seems to have been basically just to suck you in and waste your time, and on another level, suck those more prone to fantasy in further.
The first two ingredients for these programs or similar ones is a conspiracy or partnership. Eight or nine operators are needed. All the players should be relatively anonymous and unknown. You do not want a star.
Next, you need a good subject. Flat Erf is a better subject than the Mandela Effect as the Mandela Effect is more fantastic and easier to disprove.
Assuming your group has an objective, you want to have the group stagger the release of videos, a few by each member, promoting your meme. The first videos should all almost identical and simple proofs and truths. Operators who will be found relatable by a few groups of people will increase the operation's effectiveness. It is key that the feel and structure of all the operator's videos are different from each other. Having the operators making other videos will help sell the ruse.
Phase two is more of the same but there is a key difference, a new element. Instead of just proofs and half-truths to promote the idea, you want to add a mythology to your videos. Who or what made the Flat Erf? Who knows we're on the Flat Erf? Is it Biblical? Why is the government scamming us? Did Hitler know the Erf was flat?
The final phase is to direct the viewers, who are very caught up in the mystery to further bullshit. If the operation was a distraction to keep say, those on the Alt Right from putting in more research on Trump and his family, direct your dupes to weird spirituality or some people who really are trying to make their way to the great ice barrier that surrounds "our portion" of the Flat Erf.
With the Mandela Effect crap, I think the purpose is different, it's directed at a different crowd. After you get through the initiatory videos, it gets weird. There's one hick scumbag spinning yarns about how he originated on a the earth of a parallel universe. He sounds like he might want to beat you to a pulp if you don't believe him. The first phases of the meme was pretty much the same as was with the Flat Erf. It could be more for stoner types.
Some people should organize something like this to promote a just cause.
