They have a massive reach as it is simple to screenshot or save an image and send it to all of your friends. Being able to throw some words on a funny picture has revolutionized how we send and receive information from everyone.

If people see their friends sharing memes about a certain topic, they are more likely to follow along and spread the word as well.
