My statement is True you know. A lot of Memes were spread via Repost and Repeat.
In b4 the lock.
@Sweatie: Nice vid.
@Vlad: if one person reposts something over and over, and others identify that this is what is happening, people tend to have an aversion to it. But if many people continue to repost, then it definitely can become a meme.
So the question then becomes this: What qualities about the meme made people want to repost it?
Those qualities are what Scott Galloway called "Tipping points" in the video. The term was borrowed from Malcolm Gladwell's book The Tipping Point in which he describes different factors that contribute to what makes a movement become an epidemic including not only the features of the content, but its context and the influence of different types of people through which the meme spreads.
TL;DR: here's a related pic from Buzzfeed.
