Help! Monstera leaves turn brown (feddit.org)

Hello! I hope it's ok to post questions like that here. I have ALWAYS had problems with Monsteras and their leaves browning and dying off. I always thought it might be a too dark or too sunny location. Now I've made some new living room space and I thought maaaybe this spot would be good (bit away from a large window, lots of light but no direct sunlight hits it)

But once again the leaves turn brown, just as they did with the regular Monsteras I had. I tried spraying them with water for humidity, but no help.

So now I wanna ask if anyone has an idea what could cause this? If there might be something I'm obviously doing wrong?

Any help would be greatly appreciated <3 🌿

I just repotted it because it's been bothering me (can't do more than kill it right? B') ) and it turned out the roots and soil around them where super moist! I'll definitely pay more attaention to let it dry properly before watering again. Thanks so much for all your input!
