A little over a week into 2021 and some social media users already want to "cancel their subscription". They have seen enough, they say. The first week of the new year has provided fodder for thousands of memes and jokes on social media. While the coronavirus pandemic and ensuing lockdowns across the world in 2020 were unprecedented, people felt they were a little more prepared going into 2021. Turns out, the new year still had more than a few surprises in store.
One meme perfectly captures how Twitter users felt when news of the US Capitol attack broke while everyone was still reeling from rumours of Kim and Kanye's divorce.

Some just wanted to cancel their subscription to 2021, citing the seven day free trial as "horrible".
