I decided to make memes, but almost none of them managed to spread, I keep posting them, and I rarely see others posting them.

I tried Know Your Meme, but I don't think this website is that big in the first place and I don't think that memes originally posted here, will often get picked and shared across the internet, also, I want to post memes in multiple languages.

I tried Memedroid, but not only the website is not available in English, but memes posted there only have a small shelf life of notoriety, they quickly get buried.

I tried iFunny, but making those memes get viral in the app itself is a lottery, and even when they do, I rarely see them shared in other places.

I tried imgflip, but memes posted there also seem to have a lot of competition.

I tried Funnyjunk years ago, didn't work and I gave up.

I tried Telegram groups, but I'm terrible at joining in, talking to people and convincing them to get the memes I make and share them.

I tried Facebook Groups, while some memes were approved, they still didn't get enough visibility.

I tried Reddit meme groups, but once again, lottery, and even when they get a lot of likes and comments, they don't viralize and spread around the internet.

I tried Twitter, and I gave up for three reasons, first, is that this place is terrible, hurting my mental health, second, even when I bought the blue checkmark, it was hard to get followers and make people share my memes, third, when I was finally getting more followers, I gave up because I'm afraid of getting doxxed, maybe I can start again with a brand-new account, but I am still afraid of getting famous on the internet, getting followers and displeasing politicians and their fans.

Also, on Twitter, much of the visibility I got was by sending bigger accounts those memes and asking for a retweet, it was super hard to get fame on Twitter naturally.

Maybe refusing to get famous on the internet and getting followers is my roadblock, if am not willing to get famous on the internet, even behind a nickname and no face, then I shouldn't complain that my memes are never picked up.

What should I do? Maybe my memes are just not good enough?

Sounds like a utilitarian way to spread memes.
Memes just happen, people spread them or they don't.

Considering the memes out there and that have existed, you can never predict what will become a meme because god knows the most bewildering ones are just a slight variation of another or completely fucking random.

I was going to think more about this but maybe you just have to moreso enjoy the medium or hobby you want to make memes for. Get niche, get more passionate. Memes should be a byproduct of what you love with the friends you have, to make them, and yourself laugh and enjoy it all even more.
I don't think making the next Big Chungus or political Twitter screenshot collage for redditors to gawk at should be the sole ideal.

Gotta be funny, which is easier said than done. Cant help you there though I aint funny lmao.
