>>2510126There's nothing inherently superior about eastern internet culture; at the end of the day 草 is functionally the same thing as KEKW. But it's a fact that imageboard culture and memes have always been years ahead of repost sites like Twitter and Reddit (or shit like 9gag and cheezburger a long time ago) because jokes are inherently contextual and evolve even within a single thread. Anons will actually bother to open MSpaint for 5 seconds and make a funny edit of troll science, Squidward, loss.jpg, etc., instead of shamelessly stealing a joke or not-so-subtly reposting it as
>no one:>not a single soul:>not even one human:>no living creature:>no conscious being in the universe:>[joke]Virtually everything you see on any site with tracked usernames and followers/karma/upvotes will always be a low-effort template meme probably based on something that started here 3+ years ago (e.g. loss edits) because that's what the system rewards. It's easier to farm upvotes with reposts and stolen memes than it is to make your own OC, so that's by and large what people do.
