Usually you wouldn’t share something that wasn’t funny/amusing though, there is that whole angle of sharing horrific stuff for shits and giggle though… so yeah it really doesn’t matter.
What are chain email jokes than the OG meme? If you take a picture of the joke and share it, you just memed it. Share it vocally, and yeah it’s not then.
I agree, but also, how’s that different than copying/pasting, which is a short hop to a screen grab. So it’s an either all or nothing thing I think unfortunately.
