The Facebook Top Fan Badge was introduced in 2018 as a way to reward highly active users within specific Facebook Pages. It quickly became a meme because the badge, intended as a minor gamification feature, was often treated by users as a symbol of immense prestige or 'elite' status. Memes usually poke fun at the intense dedication required to earn the badge—often through relentless commenting and liking—or depict the 'Top Fan' as a superior being looking down on regular followers. It is widely used to satirize social media validation and the pride people feel for digital accolades in the modern internet era.
