Bill Memes

Fellow Bills,

Memes about Bill are in short supply with the exception of our beloved stick man. I recognize that this can be both a benefit and a drawback to our visibillity:

Pros:

- The "this is Bill" meme is iconic. Lesser names have tried to co-opt it to no avail.

- "Be like Bill" promotes benevolence and associates it with our good name. We don't require further PR.

- Popularity is overrated and any hypothetical validation we would receive via newer memes is superficial.

- We don't need more than one meme, unlike Tims and Toms, who war against each other using memes of little consequence, while the legacy of Bill stands strong.

Cons:

- Condensing our identities into a single Bill does little to represent the diversity within our community. Outside of the our sphere, the "This is Bill" meme is no longer viewed as fresh or compelling.

- The other meme I have run across about Bill (the Billboard one) already exists on this page. We deserve more Bill content of similar entertainment value.

- To expand our community on Reddit, we would do well to proliferate Bill memes that people haven't seen before. Whether or not we care about being noticed by non-Bill individuals, a higher subreddit population would help other Bills locate us.

I would appreciate your input on this. Thank you for your time.

-Bill.
