One of my pet peeves is that adage about how the modern internet is just 4 websites stealing content from each other. Because like, the websites themselves don't make the content - the users do. There is no difference between a meme originating from instagram or ifunny; it was made by a person who wanted to create a unit of culture, and it's your duty to make sure it spreads around.
