Sometimes it seems like you can spend a lot of effort making a meme you like, and it gets ignored, while a meme you make in 30 seconds or less gets a lot of attention. But that can happen to anyone though.
It's true that top users get more memes to the front page than others (and some of our memes are good, and some are bad, just like everyone else). But that doesn't mean bad memes get to the front page just because a top user made them.
