>Social contagion is when someone in your social group does something and then more of them do it and then you feel like you need to do it because they all must being doing it for a reason.
Like saying 'red pill me on...' or posting in the Nobody General or starting a thread with a picture of a frog. All dumb things to do, but the group think overwhelms the tiny minded.

Almost. You are confusing board culture with social contagion, but that is because they are very similar, like an intersecting circle chart.
Another example is getting vaccinated not because you want to but because everyone you know did and you don't want to be the only one left out. They all are doing it, so it must be something important, right?
