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.

- Use NSFW marking accordingly
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

Which makes total sense given that video hosting is insanely expensive, especially at the scale at which YT is operating. I forget the exact number, but I heard that over half of the global internet bandwidth is used for video streaming from just a handful of websites.
That said though, I still choose Ublock Origin.
What if half of our ISP bill went to subsidy websites based solely on how many megabytes/GBs you're using towards or from a certain source.
I get the idea, but it seems hardly reasonable to pay companies for the bandwidth they use. Wouldn't that incentivize wasting bandwidth?
I can foresee a news website sending me gigabyte websites just to cheat the system. This is the part where the system breaks down
Maybe the opposite would work: serve the same content as the competitors with lower data.
