A satirical cartoon meme featuring a large, exaggerated figure labeled 'GREEDY YOUTUBER' drinking copious amounts of liquid from a pipe marked 'BOX OFFICE MONEY'.

Below him, a small, sad, and diminutive figure labeled 'POOR BILLIONAIRE PEDOPHILES' looks up with tear drops, seemingly deprived. The background is a plain, brownish sketch, and the text elements are bold, capitalized, and prominently placed to emphasize the contrast between the two figures. The cartoon style includes sketch-like lines and shading, giving it a hand-drawn appearance.

A meme featuring a modified version of the 19th-century painting 'American Progress' by John Gast. The top text reads 'AMERICAN REDDITORS ON THEIR WAY TO COLONIZE AN APOLITICAL SUBREDDIT:' The painting depicts a large, robed woman (Columbia, personifying American progress) striding westward, leading settlers, telegraph wires, covered wagons, and wildlife. The meme satirically compares American Redditors inserting political discussions (e.g., about ICE) into unrelated, apolitical subreddits (such as pet-focused communities) to historical westward expansion/colonization, criticizing the tendency to derail non-political online spaces with political content.
