Meme Marketing & Botted Content: Risks and Opportunities

😂 What is Meme Marketing 2.0?

Meme marketing has evolved. It’s no longer just about funny captions and relatable images.
With the help of AI tools, brands can now generate hundreds of memes in seconds.
But here’s the real question: Are these memes actually funny, or just manufactured?

🧠 The Rise of Botted Content in Social Media

Benefits:
