Lack of recognition is the only payment I need. No need to thank me.
On the ultra-rare occasion when I see a meme I actually made and not just reposted getting passed around, it’s such a warm fuzzy feeling. I only wish I could get a notification every time it happens.
Right there with ya. Love to create and share, don’t have a watermark, and am absolutely floored to see see any of my work posted by another. I’ve seen it twice thus far and it’s made my day each time.
It’s a weird feeling seeing something you made exist independently of you. Like a decade ago, I made a .webm “How it feels to chew five gum” edit where I put in the ~4 second clip from the “Honeymooners” segment of V/H/S [1] (2011) where the guy gets his throat stabbed (people who have seen the movie will know what I’m talking about). I haven’t seen it in a while but I know its out there… lurking on some 16 y/o’s download files, just waiting to be posted on whatever forum I happen to be browsing at that point in time.
Yes they do. The platforms like Facebook twitter and TikTok get all the money from it.
I used to make reaction images of myself. Last I checked, one had had Arabic captions added and was posted to an Indian message board.
It wasn’t this one, but this is one of the old gifs I made:
I don’t make memes, I just find high quality copies of them or remake them if there is none available.
While I do have a small hope that people choose those to share instead of the typical jpegified version that most OPs usually spread, I am also somewhat pessimistic of that being the case because I often get downvotes and/or people commenting that they can’t tell the difference.
I remember when one of my cousins shared a meme on Facebook that was made from a poem a wrote. I was very happy, but it was also a bit weird. He didn’t know I wrote it.
I’ve been trying with many memes but this one post made me settle on pushing this.
I feel good when I see my memes. Once I clipped a bit of a YouTube video of moles and uploaded it to tenor.com as a GIF several years ago for a 1off joke in a Discord chat
I got an email a month ago saying it got 600,000 uses. It’s like the 20th result for “mole” in the discord GIF search
