Good question, I'll be honest. I was bored when I first joined imgflip and then...IDK

I joined imgflip so I could beat my brother at making memes cause I said I would be better at it than him. I also wanted to make memes that I had ideas for so that worked out. For me it's more of a hobby but I've used it as an emotional outlet a couple times.

Both for me...and sometimes boredom...but while bored, you have options, so if you choose to do this out of boredom, you have to have other reasons, such as: entertainment, the best medicine is laughter, emotional outlet, creativity outlet, to stimulate creativity, cuz when you're stoned it seems like fun, fun while sober, trolling, loneliness, to use in office emails, etc.

Originally joined just to make a meme, nothing specific I was just bored. Sometimes I've used it for an emotional outlet.

Right now, I would say it's a distraction to all the bad stuff happening right now.

I needed a place where I could be as nerdy as I want and have at least one or two people get it. So there.

I just make memes to laugh at how bad my memes are.

I doubt you laugh at memes making fun of your own memes.

Tried making a funny meme (and failed). I decided to stick on the website for a while and it was one of the best decisions in my life.
Now I know so many wonderful people and can have funny conversations, mindful discussions, and more!

I'm so glad I made that stupid Voldemort meme.

I guess I have to thank it for bringing me here today... also apologize for deleting it

emotional outlet. turns out, b***hing about your toxic parents vents out a ton of shit.

Creative outlet, mostly. I was active on a small dwindling guitar tablature website (relic of my high school days), but then last November its creator f**ked around and messed it up for no apparent reason, basically putting the nail in the coffin of its slow and steady decline

Read all about it here imgflip.com/m/Tabit

That stream contains some of my very first ImgFlip memes

Oh yeah and also I am a paid troll for Kylie Minogue and the Democratic Party
