I think there is more reasons why Reddit is commonly credited with being the origin of memes over /b/. If you were to ask the common internet surfer (maybe even a 4chan user) what they think about 4chan, some will say that they've heard of it but never ventured there due to the negative connotations that come along with the site. 4chan is most infamous for being the starting point of anonymous and there are many people who are scared of that. With putting aside the self gratification that the point system on Reddit has on its user base 4chan was already at a disadvantage due to its social standing.
