Overview

This is a two-panel comparative humor meme. The top panel depicts Frank Reynolds from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia holding two Reddit Gold award icons, with text above reading 'Rich redditors when they see a good meme:' and text below reading 'So anyway I started giving Gold Award', referencing the behavior of Reddit users who spend money to give paid Gold awards to high-quality content.

Origin notes

This meme is sourced from the RSS feed of Reddit's r/Meme subreddit, posted under the original title 'We too upvote'. It is a derivative work that edits two widely used pre-existing meme templates: the 'So anyway I started blasting' Frank Reynolds template modified to reference Reddit Gold awards, and the 'guess I'll die' shrugging old man template modified to reference Reddit upvotes. It is targeted at Reddit users to draw relatable humor about different levels of engagement with content on the platform.

This is a single-panel reaction meme that uses the popular "It ain't much, but it's honest work" template featuring a middle-aged farmer standing in an agricultural field. The top text sets up the relatable scenario: how the poster feels after upvoting a Reddit comment they agree with that already has 70 downvotes. The bottom text repeats the template's iconic catchphrase. The joke centers on the relatable experience of wanting to support an unpopular opinion you agree with on Reddit: adding a single upvote to a heavily downvoted comment is a small, satisfying gesture that feels like meaningful, honest work even though it won't reverse the comment's negative overall score.

This relatable meme jokes about a common frustration for Reddit users: after joining new subreddits, users frequently find that posts from these subreddits do not appear on their personal home feed. When a user asks why this issue occurs, the platform provides no clear answer, which is represented here by multiple instances of actor Zac Efron doing a casual shrug. The repeated shrug gesture emphasizes that Reddit offers no helpful explanation for the missing content.

This is a two-panel reaction meme using the popular regular vs tuxedo Winnie the Pooh format. The top panel shows standard Winnie the Pooh sitting in a blue armchair with a neutral, unimpressed expression, paired with text that suggests the viewer look at the NSFW (Not Safe For Work) picture in the post. The bottom panel features the edited, smug-looking Winnie the Pooh wearing a formal black tuxedo and bow tie, paired with text stating that the better option is to scroll the post up to the edge to click the upvote button instead. The original title 'In a train' sets the context: when browsing social media on public transport like a train, viewing NSFW content is inappropriate, so upvoting is the more suitable, socially acceptable action.

This is a single-panel meme that uses an edited image of Pikachu from Pokémon wearing white-framed sunglasses to express how the creator feels after downvoting every advertisement they see on Reddit.
