It's the equivalent of the reddit upvote, a signifier of approval when one is too lazy to explain precisely why. It's part of the broader spectrum of unfunny memes and norms whose only purpose is to degenerate conversation. I'd say even reaction images are better because at least they're funny. Based and cringe are unfunny and incredibly stale, take no imagination to use, along with the reasons you mentioned. Greentext is also bad because it caters to short attention spans, irony is stale, etc, etc. List goes on. I hate the internet.

New culture isn't being produced, it's just recycled old culture. Everything is a repost of a repost.

We live in a society...
where new culture is not produced, but rather recycled. Everything is a repost of a repost

To illustrate my point.

It has been "dying" for years

>In an interview withForbes, Poole said that Internet culture as he once knew it didn’t really exist anymore. “As online culture has moved offline, pop culture has moved online, they’ve met in the middle, and become the same thing now,”

>Perhaps something happened in the last year or two. “People are fatigued,” said Poole. “Last year was really remarkable, but if [any other bill like] SOPA had come out six months later, would there have been the same response?” Poole believes that average users of the Internet also don’t have the same level of energy for activism that they did five or even two years ago, simply because there are too many of them.

>In the mid-to-late-2000s, it was easier to galvanize digital activists through online communities like 4chan and wider networks like Anonymous. As these communities have become bigger and more unwieldy, less exclusive, the more impassioned supporters for a free web are being drowned out by mainstream userswho are not. As for any culture, the Internet is facing that longstanding problem of scale.

>In 2008 when Anonymous began waging an online war against the church of Scientology that also included street protests, awell known meme emerged: a photo of Anonymous protestors wearing Guy Fawkes masks and holding signs with eclectic sayings on them, and the tagline, “Oh f***, the Internet is here.” Back then “the Internet” didn’t mean as many people as it meant today; its most prolific inhabitants were those of the early dial-up BBS days, those who frequented Usenet groups and eventually created tight-knit communities on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) networks. “It was just much more intimate back then,” said Poole. “People took a greater interest in how they were affected by things like [regulation].”

>Today Internet “culture,” onepersonified by catch phrases, memes and Rage Comics is spilling into mainstream social networks, with everyone from your grandmother to your boss now posting image macros that once served as in-jokes for the online crowd.

>One consequence is apathy for the online landscape. Just useFacebook’s recent, week-long governance vote on policy changes as an example.Facebooktold users it would need more than 30% of them to participate in the vote if it was going to make the results binding. How many ofFacebook’s 1 billion+ users participated?Just under 0.2%– nowhere near enough.

>“Facebookprobably represents a cross-section of the mainstream public,” Poole said. “Your Facebooker is your average person and your average person doesn’t give a damn
