"Point of view"? Is that the correct use of the term? I don't know what would be a wrong usage.

I think they’re referring to memes that say “POV” but don’t show the main subject’s point of view.

If the meme says:

POV: you did XYZ.

then it has to be the first person’s point of view per definition. Otherwise it should say:

POV: the person you are looking at did XYZ.

It's annoying too because POV memes had some good potential. Then people just started making regular memes and inserting POV in the title like it's meaningless, it defeats the whole purpose of the format.
