gollark: Yes, crazy memeeconomy brokenness is broken.
gollark: As of now it's not remotely dependent on the quality of the meme, just how many people decided it was something which might make money.
gollark: That would make it more realistic.

gollark: Unless they totally overhaul the rather flawed new system, there will probably be new problems even after patches, though.
