(From @theVerge "SmashMouth: We Fully Embrace The meme" http://www.theverge.com/2017/1/5/14176992/smash-mouth-meme-interview-all-star
Seriously I was looking up on google how "meme made smashmouth popular again "
Here is how far the meme has gone, someone has created the entire song using clips from Disney Movies
I dunno if they searched a disney movie transcript database or what but this is some serious dedication and It makes money for Disney and Smashmouth and now with steemit creators of meme videos, who could never monetize them with autocopyright detection, can now post them here on steemit in an ettempt to actually monetize memes, have a real meme economy, like the fictional one referenced by reddits r/MemeEconomy
This Disney Smashmouth video got 1,198,208 views 43,508 likes as of 3/23/2017 (and they cleverly added a video ad at the end of their actual video upload to get around both adblock AND the fact they cant monetize these on youtube because of copyright, but there's so many others with millions of views and only monetization goes towards record label who owns smashmouth recordings or disney or original content holder, people who make remixes can use steemit to get monetized!
good job
