Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Why doesn't YouTube do this? I'm glad they don't but it seems like it would be more effective than what they've tried so far
I think its simply that its a completely different medium. People dont want to be up to date with a video, and they also aren't fine with missing a part of the video.
With a stream, you simply never get the parts that were overtaken with ads.
That sounds awful, does the viewer or the streamer get any control over when the ads show? Or could they literally cut out the best part of the stream?
The streamer can trigger ads early to time them, but ultimately does have to show ads. They can also decide on whether there are pre-roll ads.
They have lots of options to make it harder.
They could put the commercials directly into the stream and disallow fast-forward/start at time commands.
They could run drm and change the key/method up so often blockers would need to change on a daily basis.
They could shrink the content into 1/4 screen and run the add at 3/4
Competition would take their lunch eventually.
There's a balance between keeping your customers happy and making your advertisers happy.
