The 'I Made This' meme originates from a 2013 comic by Anthony Clark, the creator of the webcomic Nedroid. The original illustration depicts a character handing a small green orb to another, claiming 'I made this,' only for the second character to claim ownership immediately after. This simple four-panel comic became the universal symbol for internet plagiarism, reposting without credit, and the rapid cycle of content appropriation on platforms like Reddit and Twitter. It perfectly encapsulates the frustration of original creators and the irony of how quickly ownership is forgotten in digital spaces, making it a staple for meta-commentary on internet culture.
