A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Do people still not realize that there’s different things for different things? And that just because there’s a focus on one thing, that doesn’t mean there can’t be focus on other things?
Everyone today is so absorbed with living in the black or white where life exists within the grey.
I get what you're saying but why the fuck does what Selena Gomez do with her IG count as news?
To people that care about her, and have interest in her as a person….. anything she does is news.
I’d be willing to be that you have a game/TV show/movie/sport that you follow. Anything done with it- would be News to you. Would you suggest that the “journalist” writing about it stop and cover human trafficking instead?
Nothing I follow or care about compares to a celebrity changing their IG to private, no. It's just fucking stupid and continues to play into the very unhealthy celebrity worship problem in the US.
I definitely want Linus Tech Tips to cover human trafficking.
I've seen more internet outrage directed at LTT than at trafficking.
I mean… who am I supposed to @ in my anti-trafficking Xceretions?
Do people still not realize that high school gossip isn't journalism? So it's rather stupid for a news publication to pass off such crap as news.
As long as the lights cost money to keep on, they have to go where the readers are, for better or worse. I don't get mad at my mirror for the person in it.
If you don't like what private entities are publishing, you can always just start your own and only publish the things you like. They can't even stop you, they have to just let you do it!
What’s journalism to to you, isn’t guaranteed to be to someone else- and vice-versa. And while I don’t care what celebrities do with their lives or social media accounts- I believe and accept that I am only part of the target audience of journalism-
Not the entirety of it.
So as long as there will be people that care about these sorts of things, they deserve to have journalism informing them of such things, regardless of how much it bothers you.
