Also 4chan shouldn’t act like it’s all original either. Nowadays they to a large degree copy from Twitter and Reddit. The meme is also outdated and it shows. Tumblr became its own ecosystem in the last few years thanks to Elons dumb antics on Twitter. 9gag also directly steals from reddit. They run scraping bots specifically to steal popular reddit posts.
