A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

- No explicitly political content (about political figures, political events, elections and so on), !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca can be better place for that
- Use NSFW marking accordingly
Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

I have it and enjoy it. It pays the creators and I don't see ads. So don't speak for me, please. Also, you need a reality check on what actually matters in life.
It's crazy how people advocate for a free (as in freedom) internet with as much privacy as you want, then in the same breath tell you how they're entitled to content without paying.
A lot of channels exist as a natural extension of an already existing business. I'm not going to support Google and the mass dregs that create clickbait garbage and predatory content that takes advantage of the algorithm in order to make as much money from ads as possible.
Not all content deserves to be monetized. Google isn't entitled to make money by simply hosting reaction videos and hyperbolic political commentary.
"simply hosting"
You sir don't have the slightest idea of what an immense operation "simply hosting" those videos is.
I also don't gaf. If YouTube wants to host a pile of garbage then that's on them. I'm not paying for it.
