I really like the study on memes. The risk with memes when talking about political or other “serious” topics it can trivialize those serious subjects. Tak the War between Ukrain and Russia for example, there are funny meme’s about this. But when watching this it really takes away the seriousness of this topic. Liked listening guys!
