Why does /qa/ suddenly hate memes now? Do they just want to feel superior to the rest of the site, I really don't see how jokes are social currency or whatever. Or is it because people you don't like use them too?
I don't speak for /qa/, but I prefer to expand on boting and script culture than image culture. Memes are about popularity nowadays, I and others want isolation.

We seem to have been getting some shitty ones lately, although part of that may just be me getting older. I guess that virgin/chad one is decent. But the four brain pictures and everything stolen from black twitter just seem dumb to me.
/qa/ dislikes memes because they attract normalfags

I thought /qa/ hates the sekret club mentality and normalfags dont exist or something
Or is this just /qa/ being contrarian about everything

Just a few teenagers that want to be "different"

The way the internet sees memes these days is as a commodity created by others that you can sit down and browse at your leisure. People are so far isolated from them that form communities solely around collecting them like postage stamps. They're supposed to be in-jokes and community-driven fads that adapt and change over time and not a product to be packaged and sold.
Anything created on /qa/ is reposted on /bant/ hours later, anyway. Every time I go there to update image filters I see something newly taken from /qa/. It's weird.
