It gets used online for things, and there are whole communities devoted to shitposting, but I can’t find a clear set of rules for something to count as a shitpost. I remember querying whether a post on a shitposting community was witty enough to be a shitpost rather than just a shitty post, but of course not all the responses to that were terribly helpful!
A meme or post that has no deeper meaning. If you have to analyze it or think about it, you’re already past a shitpost. The point of a shitpost is the stupidity of its superficial, useless, low-quality humor
It’s possible to have a high-quality, high-effort shitpost, but it’s rare, since by nature, high effort posts tend to also be meaningful. In my eyes, this is peak high effort shitpost
I think of it as low effort but still has some slight potential to get a few laughs or start a conversation.
It’s posts that are a step up from piss-posting, but below regular unmodified posting.
What about shart-posting?
If it had a clear definition, we wouldn’t need a name like shitposting for it.
Shit (n): The waste that’s left when everything of use or value has been removed.
Pretty much any post that isn’t useful to anyone, is shit.
