The most recent being the jeans trend. It was funny, I get why everyone enjoys a good shitpost. Some of the shitpost are top quality and fun for all to enjoy. But after a couple of days the shitposts just turn to shit posts and its just upvote farming low quality content and kills the joke.

    Everyone gets tired of it at a different time. Someone found out about it just now and they are enjoying it just as much as you did the first time.

    (this is the second post I see about jeans, I assume I am too “blocking c/*memes” to understand)

      I can agree with that point. People might be late to the joke, or enjoy it for a longer time. But the quality of posts is also important, and I think that’s the where the difference comes in. Someone takes the time to think of a good pun, or a high quality photo shop, I can appreciate that even if I don’t fine the joke funny anymore. When the post is jeans jeans and it’s a drawing done in 5 seconds in paint of 2 pairs of poorly draw jeans it’s not funny and just upvote farming, whether you just discovered the joke or not. That’s my take anyway, I know we won’t all agree.

      My nephews just started saying YEET and other mid-2010s “slang” all the time. I don’t insult them for it (they are both under 10) but damn it gets annoying. I’m sure I did the same thing as a kid.

      Shitpost trends that never die seen a lot more like that to me. Kids get a pass because they’re too young to have their own thing but seeing teenagers and adults continue it…I wish they’d get new material.
