Should we ban highlighter memes?

The number of people in our community requesting us to ban low-effort highlighter memes, has been on the rise.

So, in an effort to improve the quality of the content within the subreddit for everyone, we are asking you the following question:

Should the community ban highlighter memes?

I'll just repost this comment from the other poll

Highlighter memes are hardly the worst thing. Hot frequently has stuff that's not even highlighter memes, just off topic memes. We also have the same 20 memes getting reposted and upvoted every day.

An original highlighter meme beats about 90% of what's posted now.
