All of these reasons are absolutely valid too. Every single kind of relationship involves someone getting something in return, but you need to figure out if what you're getting out of this is worth enough to keep replying.
(And judging by the fact that you said you legit don't like this guy, it doesn't really seem to be.)
In an ideal world, you'd start ignoring this lad's memes, stop replying to him, and get on with your life. If there's no chance of anything romantic or otherwise developing, then why bother?
But we don't live in an ideal world and when someone's texting you - and you're getting something from it - it's generally hard to just stop.
Maybe weighing up your options would be a good start - consider whether the attention or validation or vague interest that you're getting from this meme-based relationship is enough to cancel out the frustrations you feel when you think back on that initial first date.
If you can put up with how much this guy loves himself in exchange for a few messages exchanged to quell your boredom, then grand - there shouldn't really be an issue continuing as you are.
But if there's any chance that your frustrations directed at him will become frustrations directed at yourself for continuing to talk to him, then you'll need to rethink whether it's all worth it.
There's also a chance that this guy is super into you. Like, really into you. I personally haven't been in a situation where I've bombarded anybody with memes and not had an agenda. He could be bored and just want someone to talk to... Or he could think you're unreal and assume that your replies mean you think the same about him.
Best case scenario, he doesn't think that and he's just killing some time like you are. Worst case scenario, you wake up one day and he's asking you to come over to his gaff and meet his parents while he professes his love for you - his Meme Queen.
Either way, there's a reason why this messaging has continued for as long as it has, and although you won't be able to figure out why from his end, you can figure out why from your own - and then you can decide whether it's worth it or not.
