But does it matter for something like a meme posted on a whim?

Future historians will exclusively use memes posted on a whim to reconstruct the past

What do you mean future? The current gen (gen π?) use memes posted on a whim to construct the present.

Might not matter as much for memes, but what about all the posts that discuss news, including images that show statistics graphs? General howtos? I think there's also a lot of very interesting contemporary discussion in screenshots of social media posts (e.g. tumblr) and incriminating statements on Xitter or Facebook that will likely be deleted from the accounts soon after.
