I know this probably wasn't op who did this, but I have to ask: who the hell puts a watermark on a meme?

Quite a few well known memers, not the peseants though

I don't even understand the benefit of it. It's not like memeing is a job where you have to protect your intellectual property. Why even do it? Do they think so highly of themselves that they need to "protect" memes that they create? They're randos on the Internet adding captions to images, not V/A professionals...

It also goes against the longstanding spirit of Internet memes, that they are things to by definition be shared, not intellectual property to be bound.

They want to drive traffic to their pages so they can make ad and sponsor money

Wait til you see the head nodders and finger pointers on videos.

You should take a few minutes to watch this video if you want to see how serious memers can get about 'stealing memes' kids with partially developed brains with too much internet access and free time obsess over nutty things
