How Lessons in Meme Culture Ruins Memes
Ойын-сауық
Lessons in Meme Culture is the reason why many memes die. LiMC (short for Lessons in Meme Culture) makes videos explaining the origin or founder of a meme or where it comes from. @LIMC Lessons in Meme Culture thereby kills their humor and fun.
It is all clearly and obviously explained in this video by Duckaye who made "LiMC: The Man Who Is Single-Handedly Killing Memes"

EnricoDev also critizised LiMC in his video "Lessons In Meme Culture (LiMC): a Critical Analysis"

LIMC is a blessing to meme culture. His videos are short, simple, informative, and to the point. He’s not trying to be funny or pander to audiences or anything, he knows his role on the internet and he’s going to try his hardest to make people appreciate meme culture more.

I swear it's like parts of the internet can't stop to make hatedoms for the most smallest of things for even five minutes.

“Other youtubers do it!” And those youtubers are completely braindead and irrelevant. I have not heard as much praise for them as much as I have heard for LIMC, and besides, just because somethings popular or done consistently doesn’t make it acceptable or good. “Cigarettes are popular therefore it’s fine and good for u guys!!!”. No, wide-spread practices do not invalidate the point like you think it does. Generic, bland and tasteless thumbnails are a problem because it shows the lack of care and creative spirit put into it. It’s the equivalent of a big corporation coming down and mass producing a product. Bottom-line is, It’s lazy, uninspired and generic garbage but most people eat it up because it’s widely available. I want to see someone with passion, not some fake-Australian l0ser reading a knowyourmeme page. And you do realise there is more to a video then a thumbnail, yes? Or do you have so much mind-rot you can’t even read titles anymore?
Bro really said “WHY WOULD YOU HAVE CONSISTENTLY GOOD CONTENT!! OH, AND YOU’RE CALM AND COLLECTED?!?”
LIMC is like, the most inoffensive youtube personality ever, Behind the Meme at least had some very annoying things to latch onto. The only real criticism i can bring to LIMC is that he does it for money, but than again, most youtubers are here for that, i certainly wouldn't want to keep up with every single stupid flavor of the week meme just to explain them for free. He doesn't oversell himself, he does nothing to spite or bait people, he literally just explains memes as his job.

Yeah. When people point out the repetitive thumbnails, they never explain why it’s bad. After all, it’s a meme explaining channel, you can’t do much for thumbnail variety, and it’s not even needed anyway, since it’s a meme explaining channel. Something that was said in a video criticizing him was that his video are shorter and behind the meme’s, so therefore LIMC’s videos are worse and contain less information, which is just stupid. It’s like saying that a large cube of foam is heavier than a smaller cube of tungsten because it’s bigger. It’s just that the information is presented more concisely and with less filler.

Throughout the video I disagreed with the argument. So it was funny when you switched it up on us and pointed out the arguments against the channel were stupid. The only thing I can see destroying a meme in this way is if it becomes uncool. Because by the time memes make it into the audience that never uses memes, the trend has already died. But I think that happens due to the lag in time for an idea to percolate through society, not just because someone outside of the “meme culture” is using it. So maybe explaining the ideas might bring in more people when there is overlap in the trend.

He’s spiritual (or rather, whatever he believes in), but his points are in good faith and nature. Moloch represents the constant need of attention, always demanding the user to look at him, or feed him their attention, leading nothing constructive to be done. Of course, he doesn’t really exist, but he is used to show the addictive nature of the modern world. You spend so much time looking at useless bull on your phone, you don’t realise how little you gain from it. Sure, you’re laughing at a meme or consuming knowledge about some niche subject on TikTok, but you won’t remember it. Should we live our lives constantly addicted to a miniature screen? Feeding Moloch endlessly? I don’t think so, as nothing good is gained from doing so. Stop condemning a subject because of the surface level.

imo, the idea of someone over explaining a meme with proper and intellectual manner is really funny. LIMC is a gift to the meme community.
The Hog Rider card is unlocked from the Spell Valley (Arena 5). He is a very fast building-targeting, melee troop with moderately high hitpoints and damage. He appears just like his Clash of Clans counterpart; a man with brown eyebrows, a beard, a mohawk, and a golden body piercing in his left ear who is riding a hog. A Hog Rider card costs 4 Elixir to deploy. Strategy His fast move speed can boost forward mini tanks like an Ice Golem in a push. At the same time, he can also function as a tank for lower hitpoint troops such as Goblins as he still has a fair amount of health. Most cheap swarms complement the Hog Rider well, as they are nearly as fast as him and usually force more than one card out of the opponent's hand. The Hog Rider struggles with swarms, as they can damage him down and defeat him quickly while obstructing his path. Barbarians in particular can fully counter him without very strict timing on the defender's part, though be wary of spells. A Hunter can kill the Hog Rider in 2 hits if placed right on top of it. However, if you place something in front of the Hog Rider, the Hunter's splash will damage the Hog Rider and hit the card in front of it more. The Hog Rider in conjunction with the Freeze can surprise the opponent and allow the Hog Rider to deal much more damage than anticipated, especially if the opponent's go-to counter is a swarm, or swarms are their only effective counter to him. Skeletons and Bats will immediately be defeated by the spell, while Spear Goblins, Goblins, and Minions will be at low enough health to be defeated by a follow up Zap or Giant Snowball. However, this strategy isn't very effective against buildings as the Hog Rider will take a while to destroy the building, giving the opponent ample time to articulate another counter. Against non-swarm troops, it can deal a lot of damage during the freeze time, but this can allow the opponent to set up a massive counterpush. For this reason, players should either only go for a Hog Rider + Freeze when they have other units backing it up from a counterattack, or if the match is about to end and they need to deal as much damage as possible. It is not a good idea to send in a Hog Rider simply to destroy a building, especially if it is the only building targeting unit available, as defeating Crown Towers becomes substantially more difficult. Spells or simply waiting out the lifetime of the building are more effective. The exception to this is an Elixir Collector placed in front of the King's Tower. If a Hog Rider placed at the bridge, he can destroy the Collector for a positive Elixir trade, though the damage from both Princess Towers will usually mean he does not survive to deal any damage to them. However, if the opponent sends in defending troops, it can be an opportunity to gain spell damage value. In a deck with several low-cost cards, it might be worth it to simply send the Hog Rider against one building. These decks shuffle their card rotation quick enough, that they will arrive to their next Hog Rider before the next building arrives in the opponent's card rotation. Long-ranged troops like Musketeer and Flying Machine can snipe those buildings, preserving some of the Hog Rider's health, possibly allowing it to get some Tower damage. When there are buildings placed in the middle to counter the Hog Rider, understanding the placement of the Hog Rider and the type of building placed can help the Hog Rider to bypass certain buildings. Passive buildings such as spawners and Elixir Collector have a larger hitbox than defensive buildings; which means that if a passive building was placed 3 tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, then it is impossible for the Hog Rider to bypass that placement as the Hog Rider will get pulled to that building. Defensive buildings have a smaller hitbox than a passive building, which means if that if a defensive building was placed three tiles away from the river in the middle of the opponent's side, a Hog Rider placed at the very left or right side of the Arena may be able to bypass it due to its smaller hitbox. If the player has a building already placed down in the center of the arena, and the opponent tries to bypass it with a Hog Rider at the edge of the arena, they can use certain air troops to push the Hog Rider towards the building as it jumps over the river, effectively denying the bypass attempt. They must be already hovering over the correct placement, as very quick reflexes are required to correctly perform this technique. For Bats, Skeleton Dragons, and Minion Horde, they should be placed right in front of the Hog Rider as soon as it is deployed. For Minions, Skeleton Barrel, Mega Minion, Flying Machine, Electro Dragon, Baby Dragon, Inferno Dragon, Balloon, and Lava Hound, stagger the above placement one tile to the right if the Hog Rider is placed on the left side of the arena, and vice versa. They can also use ground troops to achieve the same result. Something like an Ice Golem deployed at the Hog Rider’s landing spot will obstruct his path and force him to go around the unit, which causes him to be closer to the building instead of the Crown Tower. The Hog Rider can kite Very Fast non-building targeting troops due to his own Very Fast speed and building only targeting if he is placed on the fourth tile from the bridge, slightly into the opposite lane. He can also stall grounded units when placed right at the bridge. He will pull them towards him while deploying, and then be untargetable by them when he jumps over the bridge. After landing, he will pull them back. This can be useful when the player needs to deal damage in the same lane they are defending. It will also help separate troops behind a tank in a large push. A Tornado placed on the second tile front of the player's King's Tower and staggered two tiles towards the Princess Tower will activate it without any damage dealt to the Princess Tower, helping them in defending future pushes. This can also be a method of mitigating all damage dealt to a Princess Tower, but doing this more than three times may result in the King's Tower's health being low enough to be targeted directly, opening up the possible threat of a back door three crown. A better alternative is to pull the Hog away from the Princess Tower into the attacking range of all three Crown Towers, which will negate all damage as long as none of them are already distracted A very powerful combo is the Hog Rider, the Musketeer, and the Valkyrie, typically referred to as the Trifecta. The Musketeer will defend against most troops, while the Valkyrie can protect her and the Hog Rider from swarms or high damage units. The Hog Rider is used to deal damage to the tower. This can be effectively countered by Lightning, one-shotting the Musketeer and severely damaging both the Valkyrie and Hog Rider. The Minion Horde is also effective, but the enemy can Zap them and the Musketeer will one-shot them all. Even if the Musketeer is defeated, the Hog Rider and Valkyrie will have enough time to severely damage the Tower. The Hog Rider should be placed behind the Valkyrie to give it a boost so that it stays in front of the Hog Rider, protecting it. A Hog Rider combined with a Goblin Barrel can be awkward for the opponent to defend against. Timing it so that the Hog Rider is tanking the tower shots for the Goblins is the most effective way to deal damage. However, a Barbarian Barrel can shut this down with minimal Tower damage for a positive Elixir trade, as long as the Goblin Barrel was placed directly on the Tower. Pairing the Hog Rider with the Balloon can deal devastating damage. If executed properly, the Hog Rider will act as a tank while the Balloon threatens to deal massive damage. The Hog Rider can also destroy any buildings attempting to slow down the combo. However, this combo is very vulnerable to swarms and anti-air cards as neither of the troops target anything but buildings. Additionally, they are easy to separate, due to the disparity in move speeds. Alternatively, the Hog Rider and the Balloon can be played in different lanes to spread the opponent's defenses thin. However, a building or Tornado can bring them back together for an easier defense. The Hog Rider can be paired with the Lumberjack as both a swarm bait and damage combo. It is a very fast combo with an extremely high damage output potential, so the enemy will likely try to counter it with a swarm. If this happens, use a spell like Arrows to render the opponent defenseless. If they manage to defeat the Lumberjack, the dropped Rage will make the Hog Rider even more dangerous than it normally is. A fast and deadly combination is the Hog Rider and Mini P.E.K.K.A. combo. Both units are fast but the Mini P.E.K.K.A. does much more damage and does not attack only buildings so the Mini P.E.K.K.A. can deal with troops like the Executioner and Musketeer. However, this combo can be defeated with swarms like Skeleton Army, which will defeat both of them since neither of them can deal area damage. They are also unable to target air troops, so the Minion Horde can stop this easily. A risky play is to deploy the Hog Rider at the bridge as soon as the match starts. If the opponent does not react fast enough, the Hog Rider will deal a significant amount of damage to the Princess Tower. This can also allow the player to quickly scout the opponent's deck if they happen to react to him fast enough

Thank goodness for LIMC I watch meme videos a bunch and some of them can be so confusing so I simply go to his channel and he usually has the answers I need.
Is basically behind the meme V.2 but the reason he was more tolerated was because he researched more into the memes
Bro EmpLemon literally warned us about this but regarding Behind the Meme
Thank you for saying this! I find his videos rather helpful for I struggle with understanding sarcasm and jokes, so it’s nice to be able to learn about them. Also I enjoy learning the history of random topics so that’s a bonus. I don’t get why people claim others kill memes, for it’s up to you if you find something funny.

Even if LIMC did his research, people who still believed in "killing memes" are hard to please.
I agree! The simple explanation is that it's not 2017 anymore. Meme culture has been mainstream for a while, and that was just bound to happen anyway because well... the internet.
Been waiting for this video to drop
I remember someone made a video like this years ago on Behind The Meme. I don't remember that well, but I know that LIMC gives people the detailed origin of a meme so that I don't have to read some internet article. The past 6 years may have shown that it's good that meme culture is growing, rather than gatekeeping the funny.
He is good at making videos that explains memes, while their good at stirring the pot
Most of the time I had no idea something was even a meme until he covers it
You had us in the first half not gonna lie.

LIMC actually helps understand wtf these memes are that keep popping up in my recommendations sometimes, it’s hard to keep up with my own generation
I really love LIMC cause I never understand the memes so it really helps sometimes
I can't believe I thought this video was serious before I looked at the description.
His videos are actually really useful for finding sources of images/music, cause it’s really difficult to get good results when the only thing you can go off of is “meme”
the thumbnail argument was the most stupid thing I've ever heard from LiMC Critical Analysis, how does a thumbnail show how bad/good a youtuber is? thumbnails are just pictures that attracts people to click on the video, its judging a book by its cover, literally, if so I would say he's doing a great job explaining memes that even though he has bad thumbnails he still gets views, plus the graph he made was the most pathetic targeted comparison I've ever seen, it literally comparing the most basic things between the too, like, come on, i can compare pewdiepie and jacksepticeye the same way and get the same results and say that they are practically the same and have the same impact on KZread, its absurd he got that many views, and calling this video a critical analysis, I cant see the analysis anywhere. im so mad, im gonna send this same comment on his video and wish that he sees this, that video was so forced its embarrassing

I was worried we were gonna lose our lovable memologist. Don’t scare me like that!
