Editorial interpretation

The expanding-brain meme encourages joining, posting original memes, and inviting contracting friends. The source image uses “you’re” where “your” is intended; Ben Ackerman corrects this in the discussion. The group-expert reply and Dan’s statement that anyone who posts gets the title show a playful participation incentive at this moment, not a verified permanent group policy.
