Meme is a joke essentially. A joke is valuable to those who can grasp it and find it funny. Others will deem the joke bad and not worthy. So the values of a meme is entirely abstract and subjective.

The more an individual is “keen” on the culture a specific meme is derived from the more nuanced information can be retrieved from said meme. Been starting to view them as a modern form of hieroglyphics, but the lack of institutional initiation makes the aforementioned question variable.

There obviously isn’t one correct answer, but it’s something I figured /biz/ would be able to provide some thought on.

Certainly a joke is one role a meme can fulfill but it’s possible to imprint a wide range of emotions using imagery, color, nuance, etc. It’s been proven that varuois groups can interpret the same meme and have an entirely different take away.
>IE: Pepe is a symbol of white supremacy to leftist boomers who read CNN
>Pepe can be a symbol of the alt right to those who format their meme in such a fashion
>Pepe can simply be a cute green frog to those with no conditioning or exposure to such (a grandmother perhaps)
>Pepe is a reflection of self when used by Twitch users in the chat box and as demonstrated by QXC videos featuring him
Just a small handful of examples although obviously the list is infinite, but is a meme’s versatility one of prospects that make them valuable? I’d say so but another may argue it’s a limiting factor in relaying information across a wide spectrum of viewers
