    Yeah, I’m sadly guilty of bringing some of that meme-reply bullshit here, and I’ve decided I’m going to stop. I wish there was like a patch or a pill I could take, like they have for smoking. Maybe just downvotes to meme-replies would suffice for me.

      Those replies have their place when used infrequently, the repetition is when it gets annoying. Also, with subreddits hitting millions of users, it just becomes a feedback loop when those replies keep getting thousands of upvotes, and other people start parroting it.

      Don’t beat yourself up though, a lot of times you just grow out of it.
