Final Post

To wrap up this semester I would like to walk through what I have learned about "meme culture" and the impacts it has created (which I will elaborate more in my final paper): 1. Memes began before the Internet even existed 2. Memes have changed over time (ex: GIFs, videos etc.) 3. They have changed our social interactions (tagging one another, sending memes via DM) 4. There are social media accounts specifically designed to post several memes a day 5. They make people happy and laugh 6. They can even make people famous I hope you all have enjoyed my blog this semester and hope that it has helped you learn more about this topic!

Today's Featured Meme Account

Today I will be featuring another meme account that I have gotten a lot of feedback that it is one of the top accounts as well. Elliot Tebele is an Instagram star with the account "Fuck Jerry." This account has 13.5 million followers and almost 5,000 posts. Here is an interview to read if you are curious about learning more about the story behind the account's name, how he started it, and how he's turned the account into a major business: https://www.forbes.com/sites/tomward/2017/07/17/who-the-f-is-jerry-an-interview-with-f-jerrys-founder-elliot-tebele/#7d3b8f283da4

What is your favorite meme account?

Recently I have been gathering data to find what people believe to be some of the most popular meme accounts across social media. There has been a general consensus that Twitter and Instagram are the most popular platforms for memes. According to a survey I sent out, most people mentioned the following as their all time favorite meme account: The Fat Jewish (Instagram)    Josh Ostrovsky, otherwise known as "The Fat Jewish," is a 36 year old Instagram celebrity. His fame from his memes and funny content has helped him also become a write, actor, model and entrepreneur. His Instagram account currently has 10.4 million followers and over 4,000 posts. I would have to say his account is one of my favorites as well and would recommend giving him a follow if you want to add some humor to your feed!
