A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Three years isn't very long for a fan. We all get that, right? Even non-stop...
Hell, I've got fans in my server that are over ten years old, they've been running quite literally non-stop.
Ceiling fans are a bit different because the blades are huge floppy levers and the dust on them causes uneven wear and eventually Imbalance and death.
The fan that the builder installed in my parents living room when the house was built nearly 45 years ago is still running, and is nearly silent even at full speed.
It has been running for the majority of its life and spends all but 3 months of the year at full speed.
Ceiling fans wear out only because fan manufacturers realized that they were never going to stay in business if they didn't make them fail.
Yes and the rain they fail is because they're a cantilevered blade in an unstable base often supported by plain bearings because they're cheap.
