The second one actually. It’s just like music! Rock lays dormant now, but someday it will come back just like the old memes do, if that is what is happening, ‘cause I only saw them on reddit in my adviceanimals sub, but it could be true…

I say they are coming back. We all long for that time 10 years ago, when they internet wasn't young anymore, but still somewhat "unexplored", promising, adventurous.

Then, the corporate greed machine overtook even the last parts of the free internet, resulting in regurgitated stuff coming back all over just in slightly different forms. The actual human experience between users was lost, and it all was just becoming a soulless machine. And that's how we even started to act: With those repetitive comment chains, always the same. You'd see a headline, clicked on the comments and before the site loaded you knew exactly what you were gonna read.

But now, we turned the time back. Here, the user experience is still the focus, and this reminded us of that last time when the internet was like this. And thus, we start to remember all the content we consumed back then and think "Hey, that was actually pretty funny". And that's why we bring it back.

And hopefully this time, we will advance in a different direction and see an actual and natural evolution of our content and memes, undisturbed by monetary influence, steering and manipulating.
