          You know what a meme is, right?

          You usually use an image that already exists and add funny or reflective text to it to make it a meme.

          They made the meme. By adding the text and putting their handle on it. No reason to go out of your way to remove that.

            Yea but they don’t own the rights to the original image so they have no right putting their advertising on it.

          So people that make memes aren’t worthy of credit?

          You’re obviously someone who looks at memes, or you wouldn’t be in this comment section. Why would you support someone going out of their way to remove that?

            Are you saying that if I go to imgflip and spend 10 seconds putting text on an image; that I can… No, that I deserve to put my watermark on it? That my meme is so sacred, and so important, that I should make sure to plug my Instagram on it? Look at me! Look at me! I made a funny everyone! Please acknowledge me!

            If someone slaps their name on something that cost them next to zero time, effort, or creativity, then it’s not credit. It’s just a fucking ad.
