Memes generally have text, or use an exploitable (think like a funny face or advice animals where you see a thousand of the same pic, but different text or "white bar" memes. They can be edited quickly or have a reactionary image allowing them to match context to several situations, like a reaction.
Shitposts generally feature no text, and are a self contained image/joke. Shitposts tend to follow a Theme of the image itself and thus follow an in-joke rather than reactions to common conversation. They do not require context usually. Shitposts often do not require prior knowledge of something like memes do. Shitposts are often the subject of the "brainrot" criticism due to the ability to just appear as a nonsensical image to someone unaware of the in-joke.
Memes can be shitposts, or can be OF shitposts, especially when they require knowledge of another meme or shitpost (a tier 2 or 3 meme) and there's a bit of crossover when you come to things like this.
This image is probably shitpost, not a meme, by these standards. However I'm just a random poster of stuff on the internet, not an authority to dictate what others post. FWIW if it's funny and there's not a Sublemmy for both, it's probably fine here.
Yeah that's pretty shitty to continue to sell a part that they know is defective.
