The 'Botnet' meme is a visual metaphor for mass coordination and the 'hive mind' mentality of the internet. Originally a cybersecurity term for a network of hijacked computers controlled as a group, the meme evolved to represent repetitive, automated, or highly synchronized behavior among users on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and 4chan. Often depicted through rows of computer monitors or robotic figures, it is frequently used to mock coordinated social media campaigns, the 'dead internet theory', or simply the feeling of being part of a massive, unstoppable digital swarm. It serves as a satirical commentary on the loss of individuality in the age of algorithmic influence and digital automation.
