I’ve seen this one before! I post examples, you say my memes are shit, people already disagree with the OP so they downvote the OP’s comments. Check my post history and decide for yourself.
I looked and saw that you’ve posted about 100 times in the last month (many of which j recognized and appreciated, thank you for your service). Three of them have net down votes.
Seems like your posts are mostly well received, so I’m not sure what the issue is? 97% positive isn’t enough?
idk, maybe it’s the fact that the ones that do poorly/get downvoted are the ones I actually thought were funny. I sprinkle in reposts and those do really well. This is a trend that I’ve noticed since I’ve been on Lemmy. Guess I’m a bit raw about it.
Man I can really sympathize with you, It feels pretty bad to see your OC memes doing bad.
I checked the aforementioned 3 posts (I am talking about the “ass eating”, “crypto” and the “eye contact” meme just so that we are on the same page) and I often consider myself having opposed opinions than the general audience of those instances. I can see why people would downvote them since they are pretty much the opposite of the “popular belief” of the communities. But I have to say I wouldn’t upvote them either since they aren’t really that funny in my opinion (unrelated to any political opinions etc that I have).
The eye contact one is a really outdated format imo, the ones I find funny nowadays with this format usually have a very bizzare image that makes the meme funny by itself. People probably downvoted it because they found it misogynistic
The crypto one is basically just a rant so I really don’t think it has any comedic value tbh. This one probably got downvoted since it speaks positively of crypto.
The ass eating one was I believe the funniest one but I guess it just didn’t click with me. I don’t really have any mentions of race in memes but its probably the reason why it got downvoted. In my experience mentioning a (minority) race and not outright praising it usually causes people to downvote instantly.
Would I be able to make better memes with the same topics? Absolutely not. I just wanted to give my 2 cents about why the memes may not have done as well as you hoped.

I’d really rather not.
