I'm glad people are active, but why are the most upvoted memes things from years ago? Bots? Users desperate for content?

I feel like it's kind of the same in other meme communities like 9gag and reddit. Reposts upon reposts upon reposts, with the occasional funny new thing.

Topical meme communities are sometimes a bit better with this.

And sometimes a meme doesn't age. Sometimes, old sayings can still work wonders in new situations. Sometimes even better than what a new one would.

I don't think old needs to be reinnovated just because it's old. I enjoy many old things!
