If I see it any meme and like it I upvote it no matter who made it. There are a ton of good memes on this site every day and sorry but the user has to take it upon themselves to get their name out there. If people are popular they put in a lot of effort to get there. If somebody feels sorry for themselves for not getting noticed and thinks they can go find a different website where you can get popular with the absolute minimum amount of effort than good luck to them. I've made over 18,000 creations and very few out of all of those has done well and received a lot of upvotes. The point I'm trying to make is that the more stuff you make the better the chance you have of being noticed that is it. If people are out there upvoting only people they like no matter what they make then yeah that sucks. But I'm not going to hold popularity against somebody who earns it either. I have yet to see anybody get popular by only making their submissions every day and nothing else. There are simply too many people here making good memes and doing only that, you have to be an active member out there having a good time to get noticed. I had never seen your name until your comment here, so my first impression is here is somebody that the first comment I see is one asking why good memes are only getting 15 views. I tried explaining it to you but I guess that just made you mad. If you are relying only on the latest stream when your meme features for people to learn anything about you or if your memes are funny you are limiting people's ability to view you. Sure it can happen that a meme will take off that way, but it's very rare. So I ask you, why would anybody that wants their memes to be seen do the bare minimum and not go out commenting as much as possible, a funny comment meme is just as good as a funny submission, so go be funny all over the place with comments and people will notice that. It sure beats having their first impression of you being complaining that the site isn't fair and that people are just going to leave to these other sites where apparently every meme made is seen a lot more with a ton more upvotes?? Of course popular users are going to get more views and upvotes, that's the definition of being popular. That's like saying only the starting athletes in a game score the most points, you can't get on the board if you aren't in the game...
