Excellent, like a scarlet letter for plagiarists, I am new, what about comments on other people's posts, can I use memes from an image search or do I have to make my own?

Memes have been somewhat controversial.
My opinion is that if you are using them in comments they are fine. Be sure they are relevant and don't over use them. Someone might think they are spam.
It's even fine to use them in posts. When you use them in posts I'd like to see something that indicates that it isn't your meme though. "Hey I found this great meme" works.
It's not that sharing things like memes and YouTube videos is bad. It's really about how they are shared since the person is being paid for sharing something created by someone else.
what about tweets, is there a preferred way to share them? I like to comment on people's tweets sometimes.
I'd probably say use a screenshot with a link to the original tweet then add your reply under it. The important part is adding something original to it. Not just grabbing something, pasting it, and hitting the post button.
