    A meme is a thing thats shared, so this becomes a meme when it’s posted to share with others.

    The hell do YOU think a meme is?

      A continuously adapted and shaped image, text or video that gets shared relentlessly.

      If something keeps getting shared unchanged, I wouldn’t actually consider it a meme, only if it’s altered. Otherwise I would just call it a viral post or video or something.

      Actually, it’s pretty hard to define a meme now that I try to think about it…
