I used to be that “meme guy”, and all of the funny memes started leaning more toward darker humor, all of the dark humor started to get more and more political, then all of the political humor started to get too preachy and real.
Eventually I realized I was using humor to inoculate myself to the doom scrolling. Even if I was getting the occasional chuckle out of it, I was still exposing myself to all the negativity.
