Okay lets be real reddit never made original content.

Most of these memes were created long before reddit was even a thing, mostly on random forums and blog sites. Reddit became popular as a repost media platform like Digg.

Hell even youtube had a fair share of reuploads despite being one of the first dedicated video sites.

Forgot about 9gag?

9gag routinely stole memes from other sites.

At one point, it got really awkward because they were stealing "The Button" memes while deleting all comments referring to Reddit. So, at one point, you had a bunch of rainbow memes show up and no one could give the real reason why.
