I've never seen a featured meme with zero views.
Get in the habit of commenting on other people's memes. It's also good to reply to those replying.
Everything you do earns points. I hardly did dinkum the first 6 months I was here. Became active this summer and saw points grow from 100 a day to, currently, 4K.
As a commenter, people get to know you and start looking for your memes.
It's like a vending machine: you keep it full of memes, comments and replies and people can react. If you don't refill it with the variety people look for, they'll take their comments, and points elsewhere.
I know, it sounds like a lot of work, but the reward is the fun you have. I'm a natural smartass, so it's not work for me. Just play off user comments.
Oh, and always be civil with others.if they aren't civil with you. You can always flag a comment.
