The Community Notes meme stems from the crowdsourced fact-checking feature on X (formerly Twitter), where contributors add clarifying context to potentially misleading posts. It became a viral sensation as users found humor in the dry, objective tone used by 'the notes' to debunk high-profile figures or corporate PR blunders. The template usually features a screenshot of a post followed by the signature grey box titled 'Readers added context.' While it serves a functional purpose on the platform, the internet has repurposed it as a comedic tool for delivering 'brutal truths,' highlights of hypocrisy, or satirical corrections to obvious jokes.
