    Wait, I thought it was one person? I don’t want to gatekeep that there can only be one stock photo memer, I like the memes and would like to see it as a new trend. Just for my understanding, is it already a trend or is the trend starting with this post?

        Too late, I’ve joined the Mighty Militia and am going to war against the blasphemous GrayOxen Army. Those heathens dare create false memes that bastardize the one true Mighty Memer.

      I didn’t know it was a thing. I simply needed a stock photo yesterday for something quick and easy.

        It might be another community. Maybe one of the 196 (as in that’s their name but there are several on different instances)? But why not make it a thing here too?

      There was a subreddit called r/youdontsurf that had stock memes for.many years. So it’s not exactly a new concept, but I do like the increase of their presence on Lemmy lately.
