Echoing this 100%. People clearly enjoy memes, cat pictures, and so forth, or else they wouldn't wind up with thousands of imaginary internet points (and sites making nontrivial amounts of money off this exact content, like the cheezburger network) on a daily basis.

Those that want their heavily moderated spaces have them within easy reach, those that want their low effort internet junk food, likewise.

So what's the problem, again? It sounds like the system is working mostly as designed.
