Deep fried memes are satirical ("ironic") but they were created as a response to memes that were getting fried naturally through screenshotting and transcoding/compression
- sincerely 8y agoNitpicking here but I think the "deep fried meme" phenomenon (as opposed to just images naturally becoming lower quality) is a result of the screenshot -> instagram filter pipeline.
- hi5eyes 8y agotheres bots/sites that df memes most people arent adding filters to memes to post on ig/twitter/sc
- sincerely 8y agoI agree that thats how they're made now but the phenomenon started as people parodying memes that were screenshotted and instagram filtered with structure -> 100 and sepia -> 100 etc
- hi5eyes 8y agooh yeah I remember when ig first came out and people were cross posting to twitter and Facebook/reposting/compressing the memes even more
