iFunny

An app available on the App Store and Google Play. Originally intended for comedic use, it quickly devolved into a miasma of mixed internet energies. For a long time, only popular users would be "featured" in a set of 20 images that come out 3 or 4 times a day. However, the app developers have introduced #FirstFeat Fridays and #SmolBoi Saturdays. While a look at the features makes the app seem lackluster and full of unfunny, stolen memes from various other sites, these memes are chosen by those who run the app, and are about the same level of representation as the Trending Page on YouTube. The app contains multitudes of different factions, all vying for the others' elimination. Factions include the Offensives, iPolitics, Furries, Car People, Emos, Weebs, Otakus, and SJW's (although it may be disputed whether or not they are part of iPolitics). There are a multitude of themed accounts as well, ranging from the Deep Web all the way to Game of Thrones. While on the surface iFunny may seem a pathetic excuse for an app, the underworld is often entertaining to watch. However, beware, for the one thing the features do represent for the app is the art of the meme steal. You may find stolen memes across the internet, but the largest collection of them is on iFunny. Watermarks will not save you. At its very core, iFunny's central meme economy is entirely based off of stolen memes, and if you want to find posts from all over the internet, this is the place for you.

Person1: Hey, I heard you downloaded iFunny.
Person2: Yeah, but I'm about to delete it. The features aren't that funny and collective is a mine field...
Person1: Yeah, don't waste your time with features, here are a couple accounts to subscribe to, and branch out from there.
Person3, in the background: Goddamnit iFunny, I stole that meme first! I should be the one who gets featured, not the guy who already had 300!
