You're not doing an experiment, you're begging for upvotes. Even if you think you aren't, you really are. Your meme is unoriginal, uncreative, and you know for a fact you can't determine how many users are on this site just by having a bunch of them upvote it. I even told you that and instead of saying something like, "I just wanted to see how many upvotes I could get by asking for them" you claim it doesn't matter, cause it's "an experiment."
I wouldn't be reacting the way I am right now if you just fessed up to the obvious fact you want to see how many upvotes you can get. I wouldn't upvote the meme, but I also wouldn't be upset by it.
Just fess up and admit you want a bunch of upvotes and was hoping you'd get them begging for them. And now that you're close to having the most upvoted meme on this site, it must feel real good.
