While low quality and simple, it has a soul and some effort put into it.

I'll take the most chicken-scratch attempt at a meme over a photo-realistic (though still uncanny/off putting) AI generated slop any day.

At least when I'm putting a meme together by hand, I can reach a point halfway through and realize "this is stupid" and throw it away. 😆 And if you think my OC memes suck, you should see what's on the cutting room floor lol.
