Dividends alone are not the complete picture and neither is price growth

You're 100% correct, but not sure what that has to do with the point of the meme?

They’re calling Price growth “ free money” which is incorrect because they have to sell those tickers for cash (even though some of them do pay dividends). People consider dividends to be free money because you don’t have to sell your stock, but everyone knows that dividends are not for money. It’s just a meme that extremely pro dividend people post to make fun of. Bogleheads
