Kinda weird experience to be reading textual descriptions of memes and having to reconstruct them in my head. They had enough to say to not need to pad out their word count that way.
You need to hallucinate the memes
They're probably doing that to protect the identity of any Google workers providing them with information. If they posted the actual meme, Google could possibly trace it back to an employee and fire them.
Some of the memes they do have in the article, they note they are reconstructions and not the actual memes from Googles internal channels.
I agree it's long though, they could have just recreated them and skipped the written description.
