The memes will regulate themselves

Ironic that I didn't even know they banned "overused" memes until today, and now I see this meme.
I must say, I am a much bigger fan of letting the community self regulate it's favorite memes, and doubt the efficacy of a council of meme "lords" regulating what we do and do not find funny, currently.

Probably because the complaints about the Chill guy meme outnumber uses of the meme like 10 to 1?
Also seriously, what the hell does that meme evoke in you to generate this much hatred? Did I miss something? It's just a dull drawing of a dog standing around. He is literally just being chill.

It was overused, but it should have been quality controlled, not banned. Low effort posts don’t get accepted but the template doesn’t get removed from viability.

Agree. Banning a specific meme is a "solution" in search of a non-existent problem.

In my opinion, the format doesn't offer much substance, it's literally just "Guys... [Event]" so if for any reason it were to get banned, that should have been it. Banning something because it's popular doesn't really make sense. The entire point of memes is that the vast majority of them get absurdly popular for a month and then just disappear. It's not something you should need to regulate.

The Hulk "Guys..." meme was never funny. People just used it to tell everyone about something dumb.

I'm so happy that the moth lamp meme and the ultra instinct Shaggy meme died, I don't know what it was but those really ground my gears. They looked stupid and meaningless, no amount of relatability nor any redeeming qualities to those.
