Cheeseburger is proof that stealing memes is highly profitable

I had no idea that Cheezburger Network is still around.

Still around. They operate a bunch of other websites like Cracked, Know Your Meme, Fail Blog, etc.

In 2016, they were bought by an Israeli company, Literally Media, along with EBaum's World.
