To add to that, a lot of it was emulating and poking fun at stock market trading, in this case the meme formats being a stock, and creating memes being "investing". For example, you could have a stereotype of some crazed investor yelling "BUY BUY BUY" as a meme format was becoming popular. It was silly fun and let people discuss meme trends in a novel way.
