Stealing a meme
There’s a concept I’ll never wrap my head around.
Repost count is a metric of fitness
So imagine you’re a mod. And someone posted a meme to your subreddit. So you delete it, and then post it yourself at an optimal time farming 10s of thousands of upvotes. That’s meme theft.
This isn’t. Lol
Look at this cool meme i made

Also, stealing this post from .ml is so chaotic neutral lol
MORE YAY! PIRACY!
By “steal” you mean “copy”.
You made this?
I made this.
The pirate hat has a will of its own. Always remember, my dear, the pirate hat is trying to get back to its master. It wants to be stolen.
On the high seas of memes, memes being stolen or remixed ups your “upload ratio”. You should feel proud. (For you stealing this one, I will look the other way this time, leech 😅)
reminder, memes are made for sharing. If you want your content to be shared, make sure you avoid making memes, or stuff that might become memes.
Copyright is a temporary monopoly on making copies of a work in order to reimburse artists and writers and encourage creativity. It has been hijacked by corporations and turned into this horrid thing where a work enters the public domain only when it has been completely forgotten by the general public.
