for how much the internet was hyped as a driver of visual-first communication it is interesting that in the last few years meme culture seems to have moved back to twitter, a mostly text based medium
by doomer memes you mean the like "18yo zoomer" ones or whatever right isn't 90% of the semantic context in those conveyed via text? the wojaks don't do much by themselves

I'm referring to those, but can't that be said about pretty much any meme in the past decade? Rage comics, image macros, etc are all conveyed with text

Making visual media is hard, the most democratic memes are the ones where you can just slap text on an existing image. Shit like vine/tik tok is always going to be a small minority of people creating content for large amounts of people
