We can have our pretensions about it, but ultimately we have all arrived here for the same reason. We want to spend our time looking at memes in order to feel good, or at least less bad. It is these same factors that motivate people to make memes, too. Whether we admit to it or not, we’re all in the same boat of desperately seeking something, anything, to give us a few seconds of mental stimulation. In a lot of cases, ‘stimulation’ might be a strong word, but we’ve got to take our kicks where we can get ‘em. In other words, by listlessly scrolling through yet another random selection of memes. We may not see anything that is particularly exciting, but we’ll still scratch an itch that doesn’t get satisfied otherwise. So don’t beat yourself up about it, because we’re fulfilling a need here. We’ve just got to have those memes.
