Yes! That feels like what my silly bother is. But also it ends up pivoting where everyone is doing it, and the rules are now more cosmetic and hipster than they are really for everyones benefit.

See video game metas, reddit sub-reddits, etc. These places just feel stale after the first few innovators define the "best of all rules", where there are people who follow and very, very small amounts of people who experiment.
