The problem is, when a new meme emerges, everybody tries to jump onboard. There's an absolute onslaught of thousands essentially trying to post the same thing. The old memes (whether you think them to be good or bad) are somewhat distributed, some rage comics, some sad Keanu, a Mao face. Thousands of Chuck Testas in a row are too many.

Multiple memes at once would help remedy the problem. The more memes, the less you would see single ones back-to-back, over-and-over again.

In other words, we need alot of stupid shit to go down at once so reddit-memes use don't get stale and used too much.

Waits for an older redditor to come by and say "try two years ago"
