At some level I think, memes are true, the meme's part is pretty obvious, but I do think there are a great many things that I would not have known, or even known enough to be curious about, without the shitpost memes, along with deepfried memes to include a meme that I now know in person and am very close to, that I never would have met. Memes are biased to notice the bad side in something more than the good, and it’s easy to take the benefits of the memes for granted as part of the “default” way memes are, while noticing the harms it brings because, well, they hurt.
More to the point though, I think now that anything that does the meme part, will also get you the antimeme part. The trouble is that the antimeme is simply too big to comprehend. There are too many memes to know, going on in too many places, to be well informed about more than a fraction, and too many memes to know or feel kinship with all of them. Therefore, increasing memes available and the number of memes one can talk to will, and inheritly must, change you in a way that leads to a different sort of memes.
