We always have, I've never seen a meme template used incorrectly without lots of comments calling it out for being wrong, even when it was actually funny.

See idgaf about how a template is used as long as it's funny. If it's used incorrectly but is funny it's a 'spin' or variant or remix or even a 'subversion' if the joke is about the template itself (meta commentary).

The former shows knowledge of the template and intent.

But if it is unfunny and it's used incorrectly then oftentimes it is so because it's used incorrectly.

The latter shows a lack of knowledge of the template and lack of intention.

This all also applies to art

And just like art, it's all subjective. Someone will always find it funny, perhaps even a clever use of the template.

Gatekeeping memes is absurd, always has been. You find it funny, great. You don't, bummer. Move on.

Just like art.
