Meme immunity is when an individual has been exposed to every version of a meme and, therefore, it no longer seems as funny/interesting to them.
When meme immunity occurs for the majority of the online community, the meme is said to be 'out of date' or 'over-used'. At this point, many people start using the meme ironically.
People who have less exposure to memes often develop meme immunity later than everyone else.

this is most commonly used by clickbait youtubers. it is a means of scaring little children to make them want to like and subscribe.
a picture of a big spider is shown to you, and you are told to like and subscribe right now (sometimes you have to like and subscribe within the next 5 seconds, but it is usually right now) and if you dont comply, the spider shown in the picture will do one of the following:
be in your bed tonight
crawl on your face when youre sleeping
crawl in your mouth when your sleeping
etc
there wont actually be a spider in your bed, it is just a way of scaring little children. it doesnt hit as hard on older people who dont have arachnopohia
