Instagram announced that creators on Instagram are ensuring that they get the credit and distribution that they deserve. An action that has taken place is that accounts that regularly reposted content will no longer be eligible for recommendations. This is happening because there are some people who don’t post original content. Instagram, in essence is stopping the same posts from being circulated between accounts.
The kind of creativity that needs to be looked at is when an original meme has humor, social commentary, cultural references and relatable take added to it. In this sense, the meme creator layers in perspective, joke, or context that wasn’t there before and should therefore be rewarded.
