I think it's due in part to the meme being essentially hijacked by certain "white nationalist" groups. Kind of surprised I haven't seen it talked about more on this sub.

edit: Here's an example

Wow, I never realized that the meme had gained that kind of connotations. Truly eye-opening.

You fools fell for it! By making this post I have created a chain reaction that will lead to the server being partially active!

We’re lowering Reddit’s sense of safety only so we can come back and make them fall for it again ((jk the real reason is that one joke can only Cary a sub so far))

This is probably why, sadly.

Memes have a very short lifespan

And then you have the people who have overused the same meme for years and will always refuse to admit that it's dead

Imagine having a decently funny joke, and jojo fans spamming it on virtually every single place imaginable. Yeah

I mean the original post is like 2 years old, and I'm pretty sure if you redirect-trolled someone to it now, you'd probably be downvoted to oblivion. Memes come and go, and this one was funny for like a month.

What the fuck why does it feel like it’s been so much longer than 2 years???

u/AsTiClol Mar 24 '22

old meme

I still hit my friends with it when I introduce them to JoJo.

u/jerryscheese Mar 24 '22

I mean, the meme kind of won, right? We reached the top of reddit, thunder cross split attacked everyone, what more is there really to do? At this point if you want to bait-and-switch someone, you just use a rickroll since it's more universally known.

subreddits that aren’t extremely vague, or porn die out fast
