There was an extensive postmortem for Google+ on Memegen, search for the phrase "vicg" among others.
(un?)fortunately I haven't had access to Memegen since 2020.
Why don't you have access? I'm curious
Actually I got the date wrong, but it's because I quit my job at Google in late 2020 and my last day was in early 2021 :). I wanted to work somewhere where I'd get to do something interesting and have a meaningful impact in a reasonable time frame. Based on my experience, I felt that would be hard to find at Google.
Non-FTEs lost access in 2020 or 2021 IIRC
That's super unfortunate; memegen is one of the best perks of working at Google
Possibly for the same reason they can't access MoMa.
