Meme webs

Facebook: such a great, top of the notch website that carries an obscure curse... minion memes. "What are minion memes?", you may ask. Well, they are the very defilement to the integrity of memes. A minion meme consists on the following: a piece of text put right next to the picture of a minion from the "Despicable Me" saga. These "memes" -in quotation marks, as it hurts categorizing them like that- often express and emotion or action from the OP that nobody cares about, and are, even more often, cringy. Sadly, minion memes are a pandemic to Facebook, and that is why this page is one of the worst -if not the worst- to navigate in search of memes.


Instagram: this application, used to publish photos, videos and comments only, has a signature meme. I call them "philosophy fiascos", because they attend to the rule of inference for conjunction and use one case where the rule is wrong -you had one job-. This case is when something that is true is followed by something untrue. For example, the image at the left. As you can see, they are bad, but at least they're not as bad as minion memes.




9gag: this website had its golden times long ago, now it's full of regular memes, but sometimes, something truly golden appears again. The name 9gag comes from its first times, when each page had 9 gags or posts, and you had to click a button to see more.



Reddit: to my belief, the father of all blogs. It's an enormous blog containing subsequent blogs where people can post whatever they want, and thus, it's inevitable for memes to concieve in this website. In fact, and quite sadly, most other pages steal memes and ideas from Reddit, but that just empowers them. Why is it not the best website, then? We will see why in a moment...

Youtube: I understand those who agree to disagree on this one, but, to my belief, the famous video portal should be the number one. Why? Because in its domains, there are millions of videos that are whole memes in their entirety, and have costed a lot of blood, sweat and tears to produce. You'll see the most well-edited videos here, that feel just like another movie from Quentin Tarantino. Only difference is that the creator is most probably a 16 years old, but whatever.
