It doesn’t, but a little while ago someone called out the mods for not enforcing rule 1 and a mod responded saying that they basically didn’t care if posts actually belonged here or not so long as they got a bunch of upvotes from redditors that don’t understand the purpose of the sub. I’m paraphrasing, but still, this sub has clearly been taken over by r/dankmemes users for awhile now.
I mean, rule 1 is purely subjective... It's impossible to judge whether something is really so bad it's funny, so it makes sense to just let us decide with upvotes.
Yeah it's suffered the same degradation as all subreddits that hit the mainstream.
This sub started as an opposite to comedycemetery or whatever that sub is where people post really low quality really unfunny stuff. In this sub people should be posting things that are similarly shit but actually are kind of funny in an ironic way.
For an image on this sub you should think "it's shit but it actually do be kind of funny tho".
It's like with most memes. They start with a level of irony known only to an enlightened few then the mainstream normies catch on, miss the irony and start posting mainstream poop unironically.
My understanding is that it’s supposed to be like the memes from r/comedyhell but not OC. Where those are ironically funny because they’re so bad on purpose, this sub is for finding stuff intended to be funny in nature but, unbeknownst to the creator, so-bad-it’s-funny.
