There’s nothing like a good meme zeitgeist; an event or person that just becomes the subject of endless memes as the internet bands together for some hearty laughs. That’s exactly what happened this week when Facebook- erm, sorry, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company known as Facebook would be changing its name to Meta. The absolute memeability of everything Zuckerberg does, combined with the internet’s shared disdain for Facebook gave way to some incredible reactions to yesterday’s news.
Thank you for that excellent breakdown, Blaire.
Can't wait for Facebook/Meta to moderate 3-5% of the harmful content and misinformation on its platform!
I wouldn't mind a Spirit takeover.
Nice going, Zuck...
Even the Matrix social media account got in on the fun.
It certainly leaves a bit to be desired.
Your tattoos are no retroactively cursed.
This is definitely normal behavior.
Oh, that's what he can use the sauce for!
If we had to see it, then so do you...
It all goes back to Harvard.
Something that fighting game players and zuck haters can agree on.
Who could have done this?
Suddenly, Meta World Peace doesn't sound like that lame of a name change.
Be real, you're still going to call them Facebook.
Well done, folks.
The reactions to Facebook's rebranding as Meta were certainly something to behold. We're curious, what's your take on the entire scenario? Let us know in the Chatty thread below.
