JFC, calm your tits. Not everyone is terminally online.
And how is otomad a format? It's a video style not that much different from a meme.

My apologies, I'm not aware of the average response time for the forums here.

As you said it's a video style not that much different from a meme. I've only recently been promoted to builder so I wanted to hear other people's opinions. To me, meme and otomads seem like a format that would make sense to be a meta tag but since they aren't a meta tag already I wanted to hear some explanations from other users.

Metatags are (generally speaking) intended for tags that generally require some kind of outside knowledge, such as what program something was made in, or whether something is a scan or ai-generated or other things like that - things that can't always be reliably identified from the post themselves.
An otoMAD is very identifiable as such from just the post itself. You don't need outside knowledge to know that post #11234968 is an otoMAD, outside from the basic knowledge of what an otoMAD is.
Meme is a bit closer but still tend to have traits where you can tell something is a meme even if you don't know what meme it is. Same with even something like animation meme, which still has common shared elements - short music videos, often featuring tweened animation and moving backgrounds, sometimes featuring lyrics, to a specific part of a song. I could still tell you with almost certainty that post #9202411 was an animation meme even if I didn't know which and the commentary didn't happen to explicitly say so.
