UNDERSTAND IT

The useful mental model.

Start with the part that changes what you actually do or expect when you meet this concept in everyday digital life.

KEY IDEA 01Reaction formats make interpretation itself into publishable content.
KEY IDEA 02They can extend the life of an original post far beyond its first audience.
KEY IDEA 03Attribution and context become important because the reaction may travel farther than the source material.

Culture is a network effect

The technology provides formats and distribution, but communities create meanings, norms, jokes and expectations through repeated use.

Do not confuse reach with importance

Something can spread rapidly and disappear quickly, while a quieter behavior can reshape digital life for years.

SOURCES

Check the underlying references.

G7 prioritizes primary technical documentation, public-interest institutions and strong research. Product-specific behavior can change, so current service documentation remains important.
