    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.

    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:

    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.

    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.

    It would ruin memes the moment that happened. You already see it on like reddit when Karma gets too important. All the main meme subs are filled with such junk. I have never seen anything unfunnier than r/funnymeme
