memes
Imagine telling a funny joke in your group, then someone repeats it like it was theirs and gets all the laughs... 🤦
❌ Don't do this
"Why don't skeletons fight each other? They don't have the guts."
Repeats the exact joke in another chat like he made it up.
"Ryan you're hilarious 😂😂😂"
Maya wrote the joke, but Ryan got the credit. That is exactly how meme stealing feels to creators.
People often do this casually, but reposting someone's meme, caption, or joke format without attribution still takes their work and social credit.
The same goes for:
- copying meme templates line-for-line and reposting
- "not mine" with no original source
- cropping creator handles or watermarks
- reposting to farm likes
- using creator memes in brand promos without permission
Credit the creator! 😤
✅ Instead try this
"This joke is from Maya - she posted it earlier and it killed 😄"
"Appreciate the credit, thank you 🙌"
If you reuse a meme or joke, mention the creator in the first line and link their post if possible.
Easy ways to do it right:
- Tag the creator by name in the caption
- Link to the original post
- Keep watermark/handle intact
- Ask permission for commercial reposts
Credit takes five seconds, costs nothing, and keeps creators motivated to keep making the content everyone enjoys.
When done right - memes spread, and creators win too. 🎉
This is kinda only half serious (kinda 👀) so please don't get mad at the person who sent you here.
