Cannot state enough how bad this would be, I joined back when it was meme sunday or whatever, and at first, great, it was funny. As the weeks went on you see that everyone just posts the same memes and you see the same jokes over and over
There's a separate sub for memes, why do we need to allow memes here?

I prefer if financial discussion to be held with a certain seriousness. Memes make this harder.

I think it's best that memes and other content are kept separate. They are a heavy moderation burden, squeeze out quality content, and reintroduce a karma farming angle where there's a big difference between value provided to the subreddit and rewards.
Every time someone has wanted to bring memes back, I've asked why not just subscribe to r/CryptoCurrencyMemes if that's the content you want? They never respond.
Something we could do now that reddit is out of the mix is add r/CryptoCurrencyMemes to the distribution and weight all karma there much lower. I think that would be the best situation for both subreddits, moons, mods, and the users.
Not terribly important to the point, but I would dispute that r/CryptoCurrencyMemes has not caught on. Other than our new sub r/CryptoHelp, it's been the best growing subreddit in our network https://i.imgur.com/Upqz2Hm.png[1] Just like any crypto sub, it slowed during the bear or crab months, but it's picked up when the market has.

95% of the moderation of r/CCMemes has been deleting memes that are meant to advertise and usually don't even have any humor. That would be a very negative stream of content to add to r/CC. It's also much harder to apply filters in a general sub like r/CC than to a meme sub.

Definetly a waste of voting energy

We should have experimented first with a softer approach, and do it for only special membership first like we did with image/video links.
Even in the past, we had memes with major limits to just weekends. And that was already too much, and people put a proposal to ax them.
Jumping right into all week long memes, without trying a softer approach first, as activity is starting to spike, could backfire.
Let's do first a proposal with memes for special membership and see how that goes.

As much as I love the memes it would need to be policed which also kind of defeats the purpose. There are other subs to fill my meme needs.

I think we need to bring them back, but in a VERY limited format, like one per day or one per week per user.
Memes bring a level of excitement and fun to the sub. Maybe we can also bring them back for a limited time to test the waters.
