Feel Free To Judge These 20 Meme Creators That Reddit Won't Recognize
On Reddit, there are a lot of restrictions preventing newer users from posting their content. One notable example is karma thresholds, the barricade that keeps new users off of large subreddits like /r/dankmemes and /r/memes. Karma thresholds prevent users's posts from passing a filter, meaning none of their original content can be posted until their profiles receive a minimum number of likes (typically, it's hard to find the actual amount of karma needed for these thresholds as well).
While karma thresholds are important in preventing bots from taking over a subreddit, they're also frustrating for many new users who would like to share their content. That's why /r/SpecialSnowflake exists. Here, meme creators who believe they deserve a shot at the big subreddits will post their memes, hoping they'll be upvoted enough to earn them the karma they so desperately need. As such, other Redditors decide which meme creators are funny enough to earn a place on the big subreddits. Now, you can decide for yourself.
