Not to my american raised ears. I live in colombia and have for nearly a decade. To my ears the spanish “e” sound is most similar to the english sound “ay” as in hay or may but shorter. I’ve never heard someone make the phoneme “eh” here in colombia.
Might be because of local accent as well, I don’t speak a word of spanish but I’d be very surprised if there’s no difference between spanish in spain and spanish in colombia

At 4:10 or so, she says “eme”. That’s the closest I could find to someone from Colombia saying meme. Eh-meh, not aymay. It’s an open E, as in any other Spanish accent.
How I felt when I learned Spanish. It opened up a whole nuevo mundo de memes.
Also fun fact: “memes” in Spanish is pronounced maymays and it always makes me laugh when I hear it.
more like meh-meh

Nah, e is the same across most spanish accents. It’s more likely we’re just using different letters for the same sounds as i said in my other comment.
Yea, Boiii - source
maymay the meme be with you
Not maymays, mehmehs. ( If you want to make something in Spanish sound like “maymays”, you need to spell it “meimeis”)

My argentine ears disagree.

I think we might just be using different orthography to get the same sound. I hear her say ay-may.
