Original posts vs reposts social media engagement meme

This is a two-panel reaction meme using a scene from *Avengers: Age of Ultron*. The top panel shows Tony Stark, James Rhodes, and Thor looking at a post labeled 'FIRST TIME' that has 0 upvotes, with none of the characters reacting positively. The bottom panel shows the full crowd of Avengers party guests all smiling and engaging with a post labeled 'REPOST' that has 3.2 thousand upvotes. The joke highlights the common frustrating dynamic on social media platforms where original, first-time posted content gets very little engagement, while reposts of the same content get widespread attention and upvotes.

The top panel shows a standing man labeled "GUY WITH" followed by an up arrow, 0, and a down arrow, referring to a Reddit post by this user that currently has 0 upvotes and 0 downvotes, with another man sitting on a bench nearby. The bottom panel is a close-up edited selfie of the standing man (with green-tinted skin referencing the popular Hulk meme trope) labeled "ME:" with an orange up arrow, the number 1, and a down arrow, meaning the meme creator always gives a free upvote to posts stuck at 0 score to break the zero tie, which is a well-known friendly unwritten norm among Reddit users.

This meme features a widely used reaction image of a man with a deadpan, unimpressed, slightly weary expression looking directly at the viewer. Overlaid text is labeled 'Reddit' and lists a satirical, relatable routine for casual Reddit users: 1. Open Reddit, 2. Ignore the DMs (with a self-deprecating parenthetical noting the user has 0 DMs), 3. Scroll for 5 hours, 4. Post something unfunny, 5. Leave. The humor comes from the relatable, self-deprecating take on repetitive, unproductive social media usage that many Reddit users identify with.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the iconic death of Uncle Ben scene from the 2002 Sam Raimi Spider-Man film. The top panel shows a distressed Peter Parker asking 'UNCLE BEN WHAT HAPPENED?'. The bottom panel shows the dying Uncle Ben, with a Reddit post upvote/downvote counter showing a total score of -67k placed over his face, paired with the caption 'I POSTED AN UNPOPULAR OPINION ON R/UNPOPULAROPINION'. The joke lies in the widely observed irony that the r/unpopularopinion subreddit, which is meant to showcase opinions that go against mainstream consensus, regularly downvotes genuinely unpopular opinions shared by users, defeating the purpose of the sub.
