Well, it looks like Twitter is trying to get into the meme game! Twitter’s product manager Isabella Turchetta, announced in a tweet saying that Twitter is including a new recommendations model that is powered by Machine Learning to understand what people think is funny. The model also studies emojis to understand how people react to tweets with emojis in them.
Screenshots of funny Tweets are shared online all the time, and when people come to Twitter to get in on the fun, these Tweets should be easy for them to find. So, we launched Funny Tweets so you can catch the highlights of what people are laughing at.

The update is part of the topics feature for “funny tweets” and “viral tweets”, where Twitter can now figure out which tweets you find funny, based on your previous likes and retweets.
