Why is this funny? Thinking on it, shouldn't copying someone's created content be actionable on the social platform at the very least?
We are getting so used to people stealing content that it is just become the rule of the land, but imagine creating a painting or writing a book then someone copies it and sells it claiming it's theirs.
I view memes as more fun when they're lower stakes, like retelling a joke someone else told you.
Thinking of it from a copyright infringement angle just feels so grimy and commercialized to me.
My perspective is that youre just way too used to the absolute insanity that is copyright and IP in the current world
