Memehub vs Memestagram

I have fired some shots by posting memes aimed at memestagram on memestagram but have not received any rebuttal memes. So I am holding a contest to save the memers that have been abandoned by @memestagram.

This week to receive an upvote, post a meme about how Memehub is better than Memestagram in some way in the comments of a recent memestagram post. Whoever creates the one I like best will receive 10 liquid steem. Comment a screenshot of the meme with a link to the memestagram post it is on and I will give 50% upvote to the comment and 50% upvote to the meme post itself. Post them on the Memehub platform to get LULz as well.

I will also be watching the memestagram tag; so Memestagramers are welcome to fire shots back with memes and, honestly, if it is a dank meme then I will upvote it. Or if the creators of @memestagram want to accept my meme duel challenge, then I am down to elect a moderator and to create a post where the owners of Memehub and Memestagram throw memes back and forth at one another in a meme battle for the entertainment of Steemians.

The purpose of all this is not to cause mischief/drama but to encourage a healthy competition between meme platforms. Also to provide entertainment as well as insight to Steemians. If @memestagram does not respond at all, then have they abandoned their community? If they decline a meme battle, then do they even meme? Would you want them to represent the Steem Meme Community?

EDIT: I just discovered that @memestagram has banned the Memehub acct and my personal acct from the platform. Instead of accepting a meme challenge, they chose to have no backbone and ban. I thought this is what they would do because they are not competent enough to survive on the battleground of the memelords. My open challenge to a meme duel still stands if Memestagram has the courage. Even if you get slaughtered, at least your community could respect you for answering the call.

• DO NOT be unfactual or obnoxious.
• DO NOT forget this is a battle of memes, not words.
• The memes must be dank.
• I will only upvote one Memehub meme comment per post.

A Bit On Meme Wars

Meme wars are not uncommon in deep meme culture. I participated in the meme war of Reddit vs Instagram, when it was first discovered that Instagramers were taking Reddit memes to share on Instagram to better monetize their accts. I also participated in many other meme battles, such as the battle of Reddit vs Buzzfeed.

Memes can be an extremely powerful tool. Here is a link to a huge operation by 4chan and reddit to use memes to influence public opinion on the 2016 presidential election, The Great Meme War. So why not have steem leverage the power of memes to its advantage? Well, that is why Memehub is here, to assist Steem in harnessing the great power of memes. I encourage every Steemian that ever enjoys memes to help us build a meme community and platform that can stand on par with and rewards dank meme smithers better than any other meme platform out there! Once prepared, we will launch an operation to recuit memers from across the internet and convert them to steemians.
