Yeah -- that's just the way it is. I reposted on Imgur a handful of my Imgflip memes that each got maybe 30 views on Imgflip and they got several hundred on Imgur.

Several reasons:

1) Imgur was set up specifically to tie in with Reddit. Imgflip isn't.

2) On Imgflip SEEING a meme in Hot or Latest does NOT count as a VIEW. It only counts as a VIEW if someone opens it in a tab or browser window. MOST Imgflip users don't know that--so even if they upvote a meme or share it to a social media site it doesn't count as a VIEW.

3) Imgflip only leaves memes in Latest if they get a good number of VIEWS. So they quickly "fall off Latest", and never get to Hot. They can easily fall off in less than a day.

4) Frankly, over the last few months the QUALITY of memes on Imgflip has gotten REALLY crappy. I can go through 15 screens of Latest and there will be maybe 3-4 memes that are reasonably funny OR contain useful information--such as yours. There has been a huge increase in the number of alt-right memes that are just insults about "libtards" (i.e., "liberal RETARDS"), which just turn people off.

Another thing is it remains unfeatured because ONE person at Imgflip decided not to feature it. See the meme I'm attaching--it's moderately funny and not particularly controversial. Yet it remained "submitted" but not featured.
