The 'My Subs Have Unionized' meme is a humorous internet trope that plays on the multifaceted meaning of the word 'subs.' Primarily popular among Twitch streamers and YouTubers, the phrase suggests that a creator's audience has organized to demand better content, lower subscription prices, or simply more attention. The meme often features a reaction image of shock, despair, or defeat, implying that the 'manager' (the creator) has lost control over their 'workforce' (the subscribers). While it often relates to digital creator culture, the meme also sees frequent use in various subcultures to describe a power shift or a collective revolt of followers. Its popularity lies in its relatability for online personalities and the absurd imagery of a digital audience forming a formal labor union.
