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The eye contact one is a really outdated format imo, the ones I find funny nowadays with this format usually have a very bizzare image that makes the meme funny by itself.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.
