    Somewhere along the line, “shitpost” came to mean “regular old memes”. There are already a lot of communities for that!

      Other way around. Regular old memes have simply become low effort shitposts. Nobody is actually taking the time to make anything new; they just edit the text of a meme that had already been altered 200 times before

        Well, at least in a community called “memes”, it makes it less silly to complain about the quality.
