Honestly, I feel meme quality is overall the same but people produce and share so much of it we got tired of it and different from the old days they are shared on our social media so there is no escaping from it.
iAlso it's hip to complain about the new shiny thing so the same person who spammed the meme and reaped their feeble internet points will close the act by dissing it for the last drop of e-popularity.
So, yes, people still like memes, but it's different when you are being force fed tons of it in a day.
