The new 'meme format' is reminiscent of the sheer incomprehensibility of memes from 2005, where you could still easily stumble on just the most random stuff, and there were like four or five different videos players and they were all terrible, but the videos were occasionally funny

But now it's like that through mainstream apps and on purpose. People are just throwing whatever they can think of at the algorithm and seeing what sticks

The biggest 'trends' I see are stuff from TikTok, but still, even that is alot of nonsense, some of it comprehensible, some of it not.
