Plagarism and the meme

in freewrite •  7 years ago 

memes are designed to proliferate. Their packets of useless or useful information is meant to be shared across whatever medium its set upon. The communism of information? Sort of. I don’t knowThe. new paradigm of information of having, in a sense, a life of its own. Whomever created the meme is usually not the point. The transmitted information is the point and it belongs to anyone able to dicypher the information. The best memes i think are those that do have a level of built in encryption. You either get it and it resonates or rejected, or it is disruptive and calls out to be explored and thought about. There is a social media group that i have enjoyed that deals with ‘useless and unsuccessful memes’ and to be honest i witnessed rare intelligent absurdity and some of the so called ‘dankest’ of dark humor. It was meta upon meta metacognition. So here on steemit i know our values are pro creative content and certaintly anti plaragist but this doesnt mean to make halting meme transmission does it? Curation right? The point of a meme is for it to travel. Once released bynwhomever coined it its gone out of their hands and out of their control. Nothing can stop it. Once something goes memetic it is as if it levels up to the point of public domain or perhaps social phenemona or collective conciousness and cannot be seen in the light of plagarism. I know im missing the true algorithm of understanding proper so feel free to indeed put your two bits (0.25 usd) worth in. How wonderful and uplifting thatnEffort and opinion are indeed worth tangible reward to the everyday man through Steemit!

If it wasent for memes i wouldnt be able to post as anytime i express an opinion my account gets killed by the whales.

The meme is the digital ages interpretive dance.

You prob should be in the 60’s rep skeptic?i think the hilarious political humor cartoon of the explicit dance of steemians won you some big time exposure within the community. Scathing and prob a bit too close to truth? I dont know im still very much chum algae in fanthoming the scope and depth. I would def say NSFW not really for the workers but for the kids whom already get bombarded with too much information. Nonetheless im glad you survived it, i mean steemit is decentralized. Who knows what could happen.Good thing those whales werent like piranhas intent to ribbon and shred you into negative numbers. I would vote for you as witness @skeptic. It took a lot of grit to survive that and defend freedom of information and promote anti-censorship.

:D
LOL
They did piranha me, was -8 at one point and i had about 6 months straight where anything i would comment or post was auto flagged by the bots.

Im not even sure what a whitness does, im prity sure though the whales wouldnt be ok with it.
lol

I wish i still had the balls to speak out like i use to but i think they beat it out of me.
:D

Im still hoping for the best and alot is still changing so i guess im positive about the whole thing.
I think the people that have problems with memes dont understand them and they prolly wouldnt be the person to ask if parodies are new artistic expression or plagarism.

And no matter what you do someone is going to get upset over something subjective.
:D

Word. I read comment after comment on thar post. You stood your ground. I mean like all good political humor cartoons. It was incendiary. It was a learning event for all of steemit. I know that steemit values you. What is your take on that whole bernie sanders vs crypto analyst haigyn?

Lol. I really am curious but if the bite of the tongue is best practice i understand.

:D
im to much of a wuss now.
lol

:D
It was a big fire thats for sure.

Yeah its better if i dont say as it could give him a reason to show back up in my life.
lol

Lord knows that justice has it that even if you are in the correct that you end up enduring suffering pr punishment as much as those that initiated.....

:D
