It's not on old and new some people make good memes and some people dont :/ so yeah if they get points means people upvoted their memes and liked it if you dont make funny memes then dont blame it on new users :-/
fun fact: new users go to ms_memer_group stream too make too many unpopular memes to get points fast, while old and some new users like me make original memes and have slow process of getting points.
