@armand haven't gone through it yet, but have included or omitted pepe?

@newalexandria Pepe was technically the last decade, but I included "Rare Pepes" as a whole. I understand Pepe has been used as a symbol by the Alt-Right, but I believe we can take ownership back. I am open to hear others thoughts on this. I wont give hate memes attention, but "Uganda Knuckles" for example was omitted due to its early history of being racist. Memes like Harambe are arguably distasteful, but the overwhelming use of it is in good spirits.

Wuddup Product Hunt. I love memes. With the 2010s coming to an end I want to find the best meme that's blessed our feeds and warmed our hearts. It's like a playoff style voting approach, decided by you, the people. I would've called it meme madness but I didn't want the NCAA to sue me. I sorted through 500+ memes and narrowed the list to ~120. I expect people to throw a fit about their favorite memes missing, so I'll create a wild card round for them :-) I'll try my gosh darn best to respond to everyone using memes. Many thanks, keep it dank.

@armand I absolutely loved it. Sometimes the choice is really hard. Question: are memes in batches randomized?

@aleksandr_betra Sorry for the late responce, I was in China for vacay! Yes, it was randomized with slight edits. I wish I took more time to create a better rank-base grouping system. I knew this wasn't perfect but aim to solve it in the wild card/round 2 voting. By the way, there was an uptick in traffic and ProductHunt engagement 9 days ago.. do you remember how you heard of this hunt?

But.... where is Just Do It by Shia? Or is it not good enough to get to the finals? Or did I miss it?! This meme always motivates me.

Not sure I understand grouping of three at time to vote from. They seem very arbitrary. A bracket system or just letting folks choose their tops from bigger list would be better IMO. This just takes too long.

@michaelwolf This probably increases engagement, especially if people would come to only vote for one meme and then leave

It’s an interesting idea, but at least the first 20 or so aren’t my taste....which is probably a good sign for you, since I’m not really your target audience.

Is this the final list of memes? Some absolute gems are missing!

Great idea... badly-executed :(

Report

@dave_stewart exactly. But, I'm guessing, that it's done that way so as to avoid people voting for pepe — which is the obvious breadwinner of the decade (by use/traffic). But the politicization of pepe will probably leave the meme omitted, and thus skewing and weakening what could otherwise have been a great social experiment (best meme of decade)

@newalexandria yeah, I like the bias-neutral approach... but still badly-executed. It's a shame, as it is a fun idea, but I just closed the browser tab as it wasn't engaging-enough to warrant me wasting 20 minutes of my time... which is ironic considering the subject matter!

@dave_stewart @newalexandria I'll review the raw data and make corrections to give skewed memes a chance. Split voting was deff an issue.

@newalexandria @armand I don't mind the "hot or not" idea, but it was supremely slow and lacked context. I simply didn't know what most of the memes put in front of me were – which is inherent to its impact and thus the point of the exercise. How am I supposed to vote on two images that are completely devoid of meaning for me? A critical "pass" option was a) missing and b) would have given you valuable insight – right now you have no idea what your percentage of false positives is (it could be up to 100%) for some. Definitely allow people to pass, but also consider supplying an element of context; perhaps a description, news stories or links. This could actually improve people's appreciation of memes in general; I imagine there is a large swathe of your audience who love a good meme, but don't spend enough time on Reddit to understand most of them. One last point; when I started the app, I didn't really have an idea of how long it was going to be, so I quit immediately. I was not willing to make an indefinite investment of time for someone's pet project. If it was "5 rounds of 10 memes" or "political memes" followed by "cultural memes" or anything else that gave me an idea of my investment before making it, that would have given me some motivation to continue, but as it was... I reached for the tab close button pretty quickly.

@armand @dave_stewart you’re completely missing the actual criticism / feedback I am saying: by enabling voting, you are creating a social form of media that delivers consensus; and by filtering or weighting certain memes, you are performing censorship of the discourse. That is either a social fraud, or interest-group specific. Sorry. Fix or fail. Ain’t no one got time for another Reddit.
