imgflip economy be like

Upvotes are nice, but there are a lot of other nice things about Imgflip too and a lot of ways to find and have fun here besides upvotes :)

If you're looking for more upvotes, I think the top users on Imgflip usually use the "formula" captured in my image. 😎

Yeah. Don’t just reply to every single comment like “lol” or “ikr” or “yes”. It’s not cute. It’s not funny.

If you’re going to reply to comments you get, make sure they’re relevant.

lol ikr yes

Lmao

Lmao.

AAAAAA, A CHIKORITA!

Lol ok

lol ikr yes

very bad advise! any comment is better than no comment 😎

There’s no reason for anyone to do this other than the fact that they just went points.

It’s annoying, it’s cheap, and everyone knows that they’re trying to do… at least I hope people do….

screen shots of comments memes is the worst cancer on img flip!
you could not be more wrong but hey the human brain isn't fully developed till age 22 so youll get it eventually.

Because I guess showing examples via screenshots is cancer now.

I was kind of expecting you to give me an actual reason for why replying to every single comment was a good idea, but all you’ve done is mention my age and say I’m wrong.

you are welcome!

Man you suck at proving a point.

A while ago I was actually told by Kate_The_Grate that that was a good idea. I only do that because she told me it was smart and she’s a community mod so I figured she would know.

The fact that even a site mod says it’s a good idea is very alarming to me.

And it shows that you really did adopt the tactic for upvotes. You wanted your comments to give the meme traction (on top of people upvoting your comments to begin with) and make it “reach the front page.”

I wonder if Kate also said that meme plugging 10 times for the same meme is a good idea.

I

Oh I didn’t realize being annoying was polite.

We all know what they’re up to when they reply to every comment without reason: upvotes.

Honestly when I do that, I’m not in the comments for the points, I just like replying

That whole statement you just said epitomizes everything wrong with modern imgflip users.

You think that imgflip is fundamentally about getting internet points and not about making memes.
You think that upvotes are a substance to be wanted and not a reward to be appreciated.
You think that the purpose of followers is for them to give you upvotes.
You think that comments are something to milk for points and not something to gain relevant constructive feedback from.
You think that getting upvotes and making the leaderboard is the end goal for your account.

Imgflip is better than that. And hopefully, so are you... hopefully...

Also, replying to every single comment does indeed give you upvotes, because people tend to upvote comments they receive without question or second thought. Just look at all the upvotes Dr_Iceu has on all his comments. I have screenshots of them here.

Also, why did you delete literally every single comment you posted except for this one and one other?

*want points

What if it’s one of those people who disable comments

then you can't comment!

XD

Haha

Ikr

Meme plugs, they help get to the front page

What is a meme plug

Advertising a meme in MS_MEMER_GROUP (it's allowed) before it's featured

Before its featured in the fun stream?

Yup.

By linking the image

Literally that’s probably the main issue with these people getting on the front page all the time.

Especially Dr_Iceu who does it 5 times with every meme he puts out.

Meme plugs dont even work for me

It isn't you moron

Or he has others do the dirty sork.

This is why I stopped upvoting images that got to the front page. I know they got there because the top users were greedy, not funny.

I haven’t done a single meme plug today

Good, keep up the good work then.

Work*

damn they trying too hard, looks bad for them

Watch me use this Algorithm and still get no front page memes :/

When that user made the comment, it was the old Imgflip (mostly just the fun stream, user created streams were hidden)

They followed the formula day in and day out for a month, made 100k points (which was a lot for the time) became famous and then had lots of front page memes.

Notice the #4 part of the formula. A lot of users these days seem to mostly make text comments. Seems to me most old school top users generally used or use all four parts of the four part formula, including making mostly meme comments.

yeah I already try to do the fourth part.
it's somewhat successful unless you have negative comments on the image

Lol all we are doing is creating clicks free of charge on some obscure site.
