How did the smash burger meme catch on? Do people really prefer drier paper thin bites of meat rather than a big thick juicy bite of a burger?

not to the same degree. a thick burger often tastes more like meatloaf than a burger.

of course you can get the best of both with a flood burger, but that requires preparation in advance so no one makes them.

my brother in law made "smash burger" on the griddle, but my sister just fuckin mixed the ground meat with breadcrumbs and bbq sauce buncha spices and turned them into tiny patties. And the griddle was right next to the patio door, on the little fucking 4x6 deck (with 2 other grills, but he's too dumb to even use one at the time), so everyone was in the fucking way.

Zoomers will literally take anything their Ragusas or Babishes tell them and treat it like gospel, and then EXPLAIN IT BACK TO YOU when you try to explain to them that they have no clue what they're talking about and are just falling for a meme. That said, it's not like smashburgers are really that big of a thing irl. It's mostly just on the internet - like pretending to not like pineapple on pizza.

intentional social engineering to condition the lower classes to consume less meat, lower quality meat, and prefer something thinner thats easier to replace with meat-substitutes because the majority of the flavor you are consuming comes from the char/spices and not the meat itself.

Since nobody has given you the answer yet... both are good but only one is capable of being made by literal burger flipping retards and it's the smashburger. Unless you're making it yourself or looking to pay actual cook money big and juicy just isn't plausible.

My mother told me she was making "smashburgers" because I assume facebook or youtube got her excited about it and I ate them and they were just the same thick hamburgers she made my whole life, she just got facebook hypnotized by the word and didn't understand the actual motivating principle of thing.

Thinking about it some more, if you're going to do the "flood burger", why not mix the juices with egg yolk, a touch of cream, and bread crumbs, and make it a basically a meatloaf/smash burger burger. You'd still retain the juices, you'd get extra flavor from the egg yolk, it wouldn't leak out everywhere horribly like the titular flood, and if you're poor you can add more bread crumbs.
