Much like wikis, any registered user can submit a meme or viral phenomena for research at knowyourmeme.com. Other users and staff researchers can contribute to the research of the topic and discussion about a meme. The research staff then confirms the meme or invalidates the meme by putting it in the Deadpool. The editorial and research staff at KYM also provides interviews or QAs with the people involved, such as Magibon or Scumbag Steve in addition to the research.
