RE: Memebullshitia - The Art Of How To Spread Bullshit With Memes

in #memebullshitia8 years ago

Step three type bullshit memes are a pet peeve of mine. I'm stunned how many people fall for them, and at the same time it's interesting how much a picture of a random professional-looking person and a fancy quote next to it can achieve.

There is also another type of bullshit infomeme which is similar to step three type memes. It has (multiple) ambiguous statements with no sources, but uses just random pictures instead of an ambiguous professional. It seems to be fallen out of fashion a bit, but I used to come across them frequently a couple years ago.

Here's a good example by US Uncut FB page:

(I haven't checked if any of these statements are true or not, but honestly I couldn't care less.)

But anyways, excellent post, resteemed and followed.

Yeah that's a classic, throw ambiguous statements together to add to their power; not. :-)
