I don't think we give enough credit to those guys.
Text content
The image contains two text labels: "Reddit" at the top referring to the entire stack of shapes, and "People who browse by New" pointing to the small supporting element at the bottom of the stack.
Overview
This is a simple black and white line art meme that uses a metaphor of a tall, precarious stack of blocky abstract shapes representing the entire Reddit platform. The extremely thin, small structural support at the very bottom of the entire stack is labeled as people who browse Reddit by the "New" sort filter. The joke conveys that users who look at newly submitted posts are the unacknowledged foundation of the platform: they are the first to find, upvote, and curate new content that later rises to popular feeds like Hot or Top that most Reddit users consume, effectively supporting the entire platform's content ecosystem.
Origin notes
This original meme was first shared on the r/Meme subreddit on Reddit, distributed via the subreddit's RSS feed. It references a common inside joke among Reddit users about the underappreciated role of people who sort posts by New, as these users are responsible for giving early engagement to submissions that later become widely popular across the site.
