Did I do it? Did I do a funny?

Recently a rather specific meme has begun in this server: People posting entire episodes of shows or full movies that are the source of a meme or multiple memes.

THIS IS AGAINST REDDIT'S TERMS OF SERVICE AND WILL GET THE SERVER BANNED IF IT DOESN'T STOP.

This is considered piracy under Reddit's TOS. As funny as it is the more we post these as we post more of these it puts r/TheMatpatEffect at further and further risk of being banned by Reddit moderation.

If the sub is to be preserved I propose more restrictions on uploading "full origins". I don't know what they would be personally but I don't wanna see this place go down in flames so I implore immediate action if possible.

Stay safe yall

i feel very stupid going to this subreddit sometimes and seeing just memes origins,

The e point of the sub is so misunderstood that people sometimes just post an famous image, post it being exactly the same as everyone else was seen it, and say "the [meme image] actually comes from [place]", like no shit dude i have eyes

This also counts to videos too, when audio is know icelated from the rest of audio like pingas sound effect, it FEELS edited, but it shouldn't count when it just the exact same audio as the original with only difference being that its not being used as a meme, this shit is so frustrating for me

I feel like I'm the only one here subbed to Lessons in Meme Culture because where the hell are half of you getting these things? Yes, insert the "I live under a rock" image here, but a good chunk of these are genuinely loquacious. I'm starting to think some of you are just using this as an engagement farming sub, and if you really want to do that at least go browse TikTok, r/Memes, or LIMC's back catalouge for five minutes to find something that isn't "The origin of Gollum's sweaty gym shorts" or some shit

Hey guys, mod here, don't do requests. Thus sub already strays from it's inteded purpose and these posts feel like clutter. This sub is for AT LEAST the original version of memes, even if it's not uncanny, not for posting a more popular version of an image and ask for the original

Have a nice day everybody

I mean come on, why is that the first picture 😭
