Lets be honest: memes aren't high quality content when compared to the types of free content available on the net.
4chan has spawned a lot of memes because it was one of the earliest places people appreciated that sort of low-effort anyone-could-do-it content, but to say it drives high quality content is to decry any competently drawn stick figure as bourgeois.

Considering that one of internet's strength is the democratization of content creation, low-effort anyone-could-do-it contents are inherently high quality.
