The Starcraft subreddit is not very active, posts that are 30 minutes old with 2 upvotes reach the frontpage. Maybe if different "high-quality" content would not reach the frontpage because of an abudance of memes, the ruling is good. This just isnt the case.

I just do not think we should stiple something that gets so many upvotes and many people enjoy. The impact on the rest of the subreddit is too little to care. I know a lot about the traffic /r/starcraft brings and it is very obvious that people enjoy short-formed content

It just seems very divided between the mods and the community. The comments on the thread are overwhelmingly in agreement that the ruling is stupid. Why the mods are so stubborn I do not know, just let people enjoy their stupid memes. (https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/f7g5wf/rstarcraft_rules_updates_and_discussion/ …)

Last point is that the "meme" posts with 1k upvotes and lots of comments actually drive a lot of engagement. There are way more comments than a post like "ASL is live" - that is currently #5 on the subreddit with 11 upvotes and 0 comments (/https://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/f882k2/asl_s9_day_three_is_live/ …)
