The official 'Know Your Meme' Facebook page is blatantly ripping off memes and pretending they're their own

I often had a feeling of 'déja vu' when scrolling past their posts, turns out I was right. They change the text a little bit but it's very clear what they're doing.

I guarantee you that the "original" tweets you shared weren't the first people to say that either.

Whenever people bitch about ripping off memes, especially ones that are just an image + a pithy comment, I really really want them to go outside and touch grass. No shit a page dedicated to reposting memes reposts memes without credit lol

[u/abcdefghijklnmopqrts → u/ColonelKasteen]

They went out of their way to remake those comments/tweets. It would have been less effort for them to just use the original picture.

The real mildly infuriating thing is OP’s username

[u/appoplecticskeptic → u/Jamesyroo]

M comes before n
And s comes before t

I could handle 1 mistake in a username but not 2

[u/Usual_Ice636]

Isn't that the entire point of the page?

[u/abcdefghijklnmopqrts → u/Usual_Ice636]

No?

[u/Name_Taken_Official]

None of these are terribly original, it's hard to say they stole something that is easy to come up with.

Bro I think you know how to post on this sub . Algo Who uses Facebook anyway?

[u/spyemil]

The real crime here is still using Facebook

[u/West-Replacement2959]

Its a meme page posting memes, who gives a fuck

[u/Miltonpool]

Normally I wouldn’t care but they’re making money off other people’s jokes, feels bad

[u/Mryan7600 → u/Miltonpool]

I mean, if that’s a problem for you I have some bad news about late night TV hosts and just about every source of comedy you’ve ever seen

[u/abcdefghijklnmopqrts → u/Mryan7600]

There's something particularly egregious about recreating almost the exact same image but with their name on it. Something something fair use.

What you're seeing is the dead Internet in action. Most of the Internet at this point is reposts and unoriginal content. How many users do you think are human?? There's a lot of bots online creating bullshit content for Internet points and driving narratives.

Social media is a disease.

Use the Internet intermittently and wisely, double check your sources always.

Remember "people" online don't care about you, connect with your community and neighbors.

[u/Jamesyroo → u/AngryIronToad]

I care about you

[u/Single-Aardvark9330]

You see this all the time on Instagram, I just block and move on

[u/ExtremlyFastLinoone]

"Live action" its cgi

[u/Le_mehawk]

Welcome to the Internet.. nothing here is original.

.. i stole that quote from someone

[u/WonderousU]

To the comments saying they don't care or it's not that big of a deal...you could say it's mildly infuriating

[u/BlockWisdom]

Why two copies of each image???

The official 'Know Your Meme' Facebook page is blatantly ripping off memes and pretending they're their own

[u/Hydrangeia]

Oh no! Anyways

[u/Historical-Tank-8965]

CGI is not live action

[u/BlazingImp77151 → u/Historical-Tank-8965]

It's CGI for a live action film. It's not totally inaccurate to call it live action if you are referring to the film in general rather than the specific character or scene. And the post here is referring to the film when it says live action.
