Post memes here.
A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Laittakaa meemejä tänne.
- Odota ainakin 2 kuukautta ennen meemin postaamista uudelleen
- Ei selkeän poliittista sisältöä (poliitikoista, poliittisista tapahtumista, vaaleista jne) parempi paikka esim. !politicalmemes@lemmy.ca

Do they not get paid by advertisers per view? Wouldn't they only ever get paid for either premium or ads for a user, never both?
Ad views aren't sold individually, though views're certainly involved as a metric. These fucks will take all the money they can, every time, and for as long as they can get away with it.
Your "never" there is endearingly naive, no offense, and I do hope that you're not at all surprised the next time you read/hear about any/every tech giant emphatically shitting on everyone & everything for profit, but getting <1% TR fines when (not "if") they get caught and taken to court. 🥲🙇🏼♂️
Ad impressions absolutely are tracked. You pay per impression or click IIRC (per 1000 impressions, really - they're pretty cheap).
Advertisers on YouTube include some huge companies. They'd tear Alphabet a new anus if they were being short changed on their impressions and found out.
Yes, and I didn't argue that specific point, but you missed the content in the hurry to downvote, friend. I'm not sure what inside connect you have, or skin in the game, but I'm not keen on fishing about in constipated arguments w/ anons, thanks. Have fun!
Unlike you, I haven't downvoted you.
Not even this comment, that was also someone else:
You're saying advertisers are paying for ads even if they're not being shown to people. I'm going to have to disagree with that because literally if that came out, it would kick off Adpocalypse 2.0. A company like Apple, Disney or Amazon (some of the biggest ad spenders on YouTube apparently) will have slightly more power in court than you or me. Those are the customers that would be fucked over, not the viewers.
