Well, where would such content go? I agree these things don’t fit the definition of a meme. But they aren’t jokes either. And there’s no c/randomFunnyStuff.
If you removed everything that isn’t a perfectly pure meme, this community would be very empty.
I mean, is demanding some effort and quality really asking too much? If this community was empty withouth non-meme posts, does it deserve to be a meme community?
People are lazy and meme communities are bigger so obviously they are going to post whatever content to the larger community for engagement. It’s not any more complicated than that. As long as meme communities are bigger and accept non-memes they will continue to be posted to appeal to the lowest common denominator.
