Ben Huh @ Cheezburger Network: The Guy Who Did Haz Funny Cat Pictures
Description
What would the Internet be without pictures and videos of cats doing ridiculous things? Luckily, we'll never have to find out, and it's thanks, in part, to Ben Huh.
In the early 2000s, Ben bought a popular cat meme website called I Can Haz Cheezburger and he turned it into the Cheezburger Network, one of the Internet's most popular user-submitted content websites. In its heyday, the site was so popular it produced everything from coffee table books to reality television shows.
As social media matured, user-submitted content websites waned in popularity, and along with it, so did Cheezburger Network, but not before Ben's sites forever flooded the Internet with thousands of memes that we might never escape.
