A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

MODERATORS
I sometimes feel like it’s the opposite. Memes and images of people being stupid while wearing the damn thing make me feel like people are trying to increase the stigma around it to kill it. I mean… this meme is showing the character completely unaware of their situation and doesn’t make the product seem good at all.
Hard disagree. We are all sitting here talking about Apple Vision. Worst thing for Apple is if we were not talking about it. People did the same shit when iPad was introduced and all the tampon memes. Ancient history but the iPad is not.
Look at all the memes and discussions regarding Teslas. #5 and #13 top sold car in the USA.
Yes, the worst thing for them would be not talking about it. This meme is making a negative connotation with it. Apple probably wants people to associate it with positive things. That’s why I don’t think the memes are a guerilla marketing campaign from Apple. I think it’s just people who hate Apple thinking they’re funny.
It’s just like the memes about those wheels or the mouse. There’s no way Apple has anything to do with those so GP’s suspicions that Apple is driving these makes no sense.
any publicity is good publicity
Not true. If someone was driving a car wearing the headset and got into a crash, how would that publicity be good exactly?
pulls up on segway hey buddy can I have a word with you
Which is dumb, because Apple wants this to be AR first and foremost. So most of the time, you'll use it with video passthrough so that you can see around you.
Also the original meme this is based on is also about being aware of the surroundings being on fire and saying this is fine
The original form of this meme is almost as popular as Mickey Mouse
