Ray, who is a native of Hong Kong, looks back at his university days and regards it with fondness. But it looks like that worked out well for him — and the millions and millons of people who now regularly visit 9GAG but more on the statistics later. The 9GAG website typically features memes or rage comics submitted by netizens.
It was created in when Facebook was not yet popular in Hong Kong. He is rather coy about the story behind the name though. At the time Ray spoke to Meld, 9GAG had more than 80 million unique visitors and two billion page views in the last 30 days. Not too shabby for an Internet start-up that began as just a side project.
Ray is also well aware that Internet speak has shifted offline and seeped into everyday interactions. Like most of us, Ray visits 9GAG every day.
Guy 1: God how about that 9gag last night? Guy 2: I gagged , that's for sure! A website in which every user uploads stolen content, while still may pertain humor, is often taken from other websites such as reddit see reddit , 4chan see 4chan , Dorkly see Dorkly , etc.
They lie about having the hacker group Anonymous hosted, or being the hearth of the internet. They are, in a sense, the lowest common denominator of the internet see shit. You do NOT want to be them.
Person 1: "Dude, 9gag is better than everyone else! We ar the hearth of the internet! I feel sorry for you , really. The worst social media website online. Imagine a human centipede , except with social media websites.
At the front, we have 4chan, after that we have reddit, then we have digg , then we have 9gag behind the last guy eating his shit just for the hell of it.
Typical 9gag user : "I love 9gag! It's so funny and original!
