It's not what the word means. Traditionally used to denote content that relates to the site on which it resides.
https://m.stacker.news/23609
i.e. 'meta' would mean content about Stacker.News -- posts about Stacker.News show on YT, suggestions for the site, announcements of new features, announcements about rewards, stuff like that. If you look, that's about half of the content in ~meta - showing that many know and understand the traditional definition.

Thanks. I was working from a higher-level, all-encompassing perspective, but you're right. It is high-level, all encompassing, but on a subject area, not everything.
