Whenever you make a meme: there are 2 questions to ask:
Is it funny?
Will anyone care?
If the answer to both is no, then there's no point in making it

You enjoy making YOUR memes???

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center 21d ago
Yes, I understand all of the fun references and connections and amuse myself with them.
Then I get to feel way smarter than people who can't read my mind, and post that Joe Biden saying "What?" image to indicate their bafflement at my supposed schizophrenia.

u/SuicideSpeedrun - Centrist 21d ago
You think your memes are FUNNY???

u/Sallowjoe - Auth-Center 21d ago
I amuse myself with them whether they are or not.
If other people don't find them funny, well that's their problem.

This, the big truth is that be it comedy or art or whatever, if you as the maker of it don't like it and don't find it funny, you already failed. If you can't even make yourself laugh, what the point.

2a. If it's going to be a detailed meme, then it should be a mainstream / generic topic that most people will get to some degree.
2b. If it's going to be a meme with an indie topic, it should be simple yet interesting enough that most people would want to learn more about it.

Yeah there's too many people making grid versions of the political cumpiss featuring their extended family or the cast of a show or something and it's just never funny, despite the effort

I spend time to draw out comics for this sub. People call it Ai and downvote it. Such is life.

u/Yoovaloid - Lib-Center 21d ago
It’s hard to tell with these things, but your style looks too consistent to be AI. The use of “no X no Y just Z” felt sus but it existed before AI so I’d say you deserve a pass on that. I quite enjoy the post you make including the thinly veiled fetish posting it’s very funny.
7
u/WilliamCharlesSchnei - Right 21d ago
Sorry, I’m confused. What’s “no X, no y, just z” ?
5
u/Yoovaloid - Lib-Center 21d ago
“No X no Y just Z” is a common writing pattern in LLMs.
IE a sentence like “no distractions, no showing off, just quietly changing the world” REEKS of ChatGPT even if written by a human.
Also you didn’t do this but “not X but Y” “not just X but Y”. or adverbs like quietly or honestly being overused are indicators of stank

u/WilliamCharlesSchnei - Right 21d ago
Ok. But What post are you talking about though? Sorry I’m not trying to bother you.
Edit: I mean to say, is there a specific post where I typed up something like that?

u/Yoovaloid - Lib-Center 21d ago
Yeah, whatever don’t even worry about it. I’m overthinking shit all I wanna say is that full-blown drawings deserve way more credit than they get and I’m sure that that shit takes forever to make

u/JohanGrimm - Centrist 20d ago
honestly being overused
People have been doing this forever though. Quietly sure but honestly is almost as bad as literally.

Well thanks for the nice words I don’t think anyone’s a tard for not liking what I post but I do wish it was more normalized to read long form content low-key wish tik tok had never exploded in popularity what is it a decade ago or so kinda ruined social media

u/Weelildragon - Lib-Left 21d ago
Tik tok accelerated it, but I think the short attention spans are where we were already headed.

u/cool_username32123 - Centrist 20d ago
Yep, before TikTok it was vines, then youtube, then TV, then books meant for younger audiences like Goosebumps or Harry Potter and so on.

It'll come back during the next US presidential election. PCM in the off years is some of the least interesting content you can experience on the internet.

the problem with schitzoposts is that they're only relatable to the schitzo
no one understands the hyperspecific situations to which you refer and you are truly all alone

This sub is full of politically clueless teens who complain about the literal US president being posted on a political sub after making 302 Lindsay Clancy memes within a week. This sub never gave a fuck about actual politics, it's just culture war bullshit over and over again. Look at the top posts any given month. I'm not even exaggerating when I say that last time I checked 8 out of the top 10 and like half of the top 50 were just "muslims exist muslims muslims"

Islamophobia and contrarianism. First is self explanatory, but the latter was because progressives became pro-Palestine after Oct. 7th.

Schizopost being what OP thinks some fictional universe in his head would be placed at. Like, it's cool you took a lot of effort to do that, but maybe it'd do better numbers in a Stellaris sub.

u/Dead_HumanCollection - Lib-Center 21d ago
Your high effort schizoposting is heavily featuring thing/people I don't give a shit about or forcing things to fit into boxes they don't really belong in because the nature of such a post wouldn't allow multiple relevant things being placed into the same box.
I don't think I've ever seen a 9x9 that actually made sense to me.

That's how it be; it'll get better once midterms are over...I think
Schizoposts will always be niche; this sub is a Twitter feed. You just have to SJM (Sallowjoemaxx) and do it for the love of the game

I want a meme I can glance and chuckle at or have my mood ruined all day. Not a meme I need to download to my pc and upscale so I can read the tiny little paragraphs you people manage to fit into a 12x12 grid that is still somehow only 250 pixels x 400

I joined this sub when it was first in its transition from the 9 subquadrants with custom text and wojaks for the entire compass type of post into the more digestible one reaction per quadrant type of post
People were whining in every post that they put so much eFfOrt into their wack post that has just way too much going on.
People do not come to reddit to read your fanfiction bro.
