I’ve come to believe there’s a reasonable correlation to the deep-fried-ness of a meme and the level of thought put into the original post. It’s always odd that the pictures that look like they’ve been screen-shotted, filtered and compressed half a dozen times are often the worst drivel and lowest common denominator of meme content. I wonder if, in general, the better-quality memes are shared by people who generally respect the original enough to go and find a high-quality version more often.

Someone could make a study on this…
