I liked seeing the same meme because it was fun seeing the same thing be done by different people. Not everyone likes that type of novelty I guess.

> complaints on humor subreddits about how people repeatedly post copies of the same jokes, often without attribution

This feels like a reflection of what the person feels posting on the internet signifies. Are you publishing something, and thus you should attribute sources etc, or are you just having a conversation?

You would never attribute sources when making a joke in real life. I guess you could but it would be a pretty dorky thing to do.

Good points. This basically circles back to my parent comment; it seems like it's just a matter of personal taste, and there's nothing inherently more "brainrot"-y about this format than any others.
