Huh. I’d much rather have a politics meme with 5,000 views and 1 upvote than a meme with 74 upvotes and 800 views, or whatever. The former means it got traction outside of Imgflip. The latter just means it was chum for the politics trolls.
That said, I remember when front-page politics memes would routinely get 10,000+ views. *Checks politics front page* These days, not so much.
Sad!
