gollark: Interesting idea.
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: It's just not very well-designed in the first place. This is, so far as I can tell, basically the only way to make money, outside of posting a meme and hoping that some foolish person invests in it.
