It sounds kinda pretentious but I feel like the Chapo sub was on the cutting edge of meme culture. For example, it was the first place I really saw boomer memes and 'woke' memes. Things that would become part of the discourse in my country about a year later.
Not to say that these memes originated in the sub. But from my limited perspective chapo was very 'with it'.
I honestly think that chapo was a big influence on reddit, sad to see it go
It slightly radicalized permanently online libs, it was a net positive on that whole hell site

It was a crossover space between Reddit and Twitter so you saw the best of both memes there
