Yeah, this is silly 9gag stuff. Not like people on here don't take memes from other parts of the internet too. In the end, these things are supposed for sharing.
My memes are for anyone on the internet to see, and hell even use. They usually don't take a lot of effort to make, and its not like a lot of my ideas are entirely original anyway. I'd be flattered more than anything that someone thought of my jokes worthy of repeating.
Yep, watermarked memes (and watermarked most things in general) are a scourge on the internet. I stopped following a Youtube channel that's mostly playthrough's of old fighting games because he suddenly decided one day to add an annoying (and ugly) watermark to the corner of ALL of his videos including the old ones.
Luckily, I'd found a similar one who was actually better at playing the fighting games themselves. I switched to that dude instead.
