People share memes as a means of connection meaning if we share the same interests, the same ideologies or even same culture; it connects us together. So if I had to share a meme with my fellow steemians on post you would understand the joke that would make us as a group connect in a manner in which we ultimately bond but if I were to share on anther platform they wouldn’t quite understand.
The word meme comes or was coined by a man named Richard Dawkins in 1976, and yes memes have been around for a very very long time before that too, like in propaganda I guess probably from people who were hoping for revolutions or something. Long story short memes are awesome and keep on sharing them since they might make someone’s day, unless it’s offensive and inappropriate than we need to be more cautious.
