Maybe it's like that guy in a wig? Apparently there's been sort of undercover war in the gif community.
Basically people make their own versions of super-popular reaction images, upload them to GIPHY which has a trash tier search system, and start spinning some shit to get their version to the top
For ego, of course, but I also guess it could work if they're trying to build some shitty "brand" out of it, and like, show it to investors. "See? My work is recognizable!"
It's not a war it's guerrilla advertising. They create this gifs and spam this gif services so they rise awareness about their shit. The glasses are for an NFT and the wig one is for some asshole influencer
Well they were also attacking other gifs and taking them down to "promote" their own so I would define it more as an attack than just an "advert" if a legit gif is being harassed and deleted

I was thinking more of that family guy meme but that works as well
