I miss /r/MemeEconomy. Stupid but funny premise when it showed up every once in a while on /r/all
Can you explain the premise? I never understood it and it was never properly explained anywhere
Memes go through varying stages of popularity. Some burn fast and die off. Some go through a typical cycle. Some are simply useful or relevant and never die off. The point of the sub was to scout new meme formats and guess what kind of lifespan they’d have.
To add to that, a lot of it was emulating and poking fun at stock market trading, in this case the meme formats being a stock, and creating memes being “investing”. For example, you could have a stereotype of some crazed investor yelling “BUY BUY BUY” as a meme format was becoming popular. It was silly fun and let people discuss meme trends in a novel way.
The only ethical investment portfolio nowadays.
Not in this economy
This took me way too long to understand.
Fair. Using a double entendre as a meme kinda breaks all meme philosophy.
Huh no it doesn’t

(and then they all crashed and burned cause they ran out of gullible rich nerds to scam and there was much rejoicing)
I prefer to short them
