The Scumbag Redditor meme is a derivative of the classic Scumbag Steve format, featuring the Reddit mascot, Snoo, wearing the iconic brown flannel 'Scumbag Hat.' It first gained popularity in the early 2010s as a way for users to mock the contradictions, elitism, and hive-mind mentality often found within the platform's various communities. Whether it is complaining about reposts while reposting content or acting as an armchair expert on every subject, the meme serves as a self-aware critique of Reddit culture. It remains a staple for pointing out the double-valent standards found on 'the front page of the internet.'
