Okay lets be real reddit never made original content.
Most of these memes were created long before reddit was even a thing, mostly on random forums and blog sites. Reddit became popular as a repost media platform like Digg.
Hell even youtube had a fair share of reuploads despite being one of the first dedicated video sites.
9gag routinely stole memes from other sites.
At one point, it got really awkward because they were stealing “The Button” memes while deleting all comments referring to Reddit. So, at one point, you had a bunch of rainbow memes show up and no one could give the real reason why.
Since I’ve never seen either, I always thought the one does not simply thing came from game of thrones. Today I learned.
Nope. Two things:
First: I was raised in a whacko religious cult that forbade reading novels of any kind.
Second: While I eventually got out of that nonsense and started reading, I’ve always had an irrational aversion to fantasy and period fiction like the kind with Victorian costumes and pretentious language. Lord of the Rings never appealed to me. I preferred reading early to mid twentieth century stuff like Steinbeck.
This is like that maga cunt complaining about the clothing brand Nirvana
Tangentially related, but I wonder how many people know “I’m the juggernaut bitch” originated in a meme video?
The Princess Bride was like that for me.
You keep using that word. I believe it means exactly what you think it means.
