I think it’s a combination of things and car centric transportation makes our online addled communities worse.

One major issue is that affordability is down bad, many people cannot afford cars and they are stuck in environments where cars are required to do everything and as a result have turned to the internet for their social needs. Which as we know is a mirage for social interaction.

Dense areas where walking/public transit are enough to see friends are becoming more expensive as well.
