This Editorial Policy explains exactly how content is made at Please Speed I Need This. We believe a meme website earns its readers’ trust the same way any publication does: by writing original work, researching the facts behind every meme, correcting mistakes honestly, and never passing off someone else’s content as our own. Below is the standard every guide, soundboard, and breakdown on this site is held to.
Original Writing, Always
Everything published on this website is written from scratch. Our guides, meme breakdowns, and collection descriptions are original work created specifically for this site — not rewritten from other articles, not spun by software, and not assembled from copied passages. When we describe the origin of a meme or explain why a moment went viral, the words are our own, based on our own research. Originality is the foundation of this site, and it is also what makes the content worth reading: you will not find this exact coverage anywhere else.
How We Research Meme Origins
Memes move fast and facts get blurry, so we treat origin research seriously. Before we publish a breakdown of a meme’s history, we look for the earliest available evidence of the moment — the original stream, upload, or post — and we trace how it spread from there.
Starting From the Source
Wherever possible, we go back to the primary source: the actual livestream clip, the original social media post, or the creator’s own upload. For “Please Speed, I need this!”, that means the IShowSpeed broadcast the phrase is traced to, not a third-hand retelling. Claims about dates, quotes, and events are checked against what the source material actually shows.
Citing Reliable References
We cross-reference our findings with established meme documentation sources such as Know Your Meme, alongside reputable news outlets and the creators’ own channels when they have covered the story. When a detail comes from one of these references, we say so and link to it, so readers can verify the trail for themselves. If sources disagree about a detail, we either present what is verifiable or we leave the claim out.
Fact-Checking Before Publishing
No page goes live without a review pass. Before publishing, we re-read each article to check names, dates, quotes, and links. We verify that embedded media actually shows what the text says it shows, and we confirm that links point to working, relevant destinations. If a claim cannot be verified, it does not get published as fact — it gets cut or clearly framed as community lore rather than confirmed history.
Corrections Policy
We get things wrong sometimes, and when we do, we fix them. Readers can report errors through our Contact Us page, and every correction request is reviewed against the evidence. Confirmed errors are corrected promptly and transparently — we update the article itself so the site always shows the accurate version. We would rather fix a mistake quickly than defend it, because accurate meme history is the whole point of this project.
No Scraped or Stolen Content
We do not scrape, copy, or republish content from other websites, and we do not present other creators’ work as our own. Text on this site is written here; images and media are created for the site or used with the right to do so. When we reference or link to another creator’s clip, article, or meme database entry, we credit it clearly. If you ever believe something on this site infringes your rights, our Contact Us page explains how to request a takedown, and we review every request individually.
Entertainment With Responsibility
This website exists for entertainment. Our guides and soundboards are meant to be fun, and meme culture is inherently playful — but we draw the line at content that harasses real people, spreads misinformation, or encourages harmful behavior. Clips and jokes stay on the side of good fun. If a piece of content crosses that line, it gets removed, no matter how popular it is.
How to Flag a Problem
Found an error, a misattributed clip, or something that should not be on the site? Tell us through the Contact Us page. Corrections and takedown requests are always prioritized, and we typically respond within 2–3 days. You are an essential part of keeping this site’s standards high.
