Hey, if you think that's bad, I once spent like an hour making one, at least, and it has only 64 views, and one comment, which is from me. But no upvotes.
I remade that damn thing TWICE because I ended up messing it up multiple times!
I don't make memes purely for upvotes. I also want to have fun creating memes that others enjoy, the upvotes indicate that people are very likely enjoying them.
I've put a couple of hours into a meme and gotten like 6 upvotes, and about 20 seconds on a stupid joke throwaway meme on the same day, to use up my submissions, and that one got around 300 upvotes.
