I’m wondering: do people just like memes or are they being forced to use them to talk about relevant topics?

Wouldn’t it be better to have more serious threads and less memes that hint at political/news arguments?

    I don’t know. My assumption is that they’re easier to put together than well thought out titles and clear discussion lines, and there’s a certain level of inherent ‘safety’ in posting a picture/meme that does a lot of the heavy lifting for you for a joke. Not that I don’t like them, just that that’s my read of why they choose them over discussion
