I just want to make some high quality memes. That's it. Why all this "upvote/downvaote" nonsense?

Because unless a meme gets some upvotes, very few other users will ever see it. Getting upvotes is the only way to assure a meme doesn't go straight into the abyss of page 199. There's not a lot of point in making memes unless some people see them

Well you obviously saw it. Really getting "Upvotes" insin't where you should put your values anyway. I have other things I could be doing.

upvotes are just pointless. even though i just upvoted your image

I make most of my memes for personal use. Ya know, to share with friends or on fb or whatever. Who cares who sees it here. I suspect a lot of people

Yeah me too.

Are the same way

The internet is an abyss that's true even for the most popular. They are only preaching to their own choir. It's public speech yes, with no real audience.

We’s even paid the upgrade. So that don’t help neither?

I don't know. The upgrade I don't see the point in. But whatever you like thats cool
