A common narrative you'll hear is that nobody socializes anymore because phones have rendered everyone, and especially young people, too socially retarded to communicate. That before phones, there used to be thriving sub-cultures and social gatherings where people would actually meet, talk, make friends, etc.
But the thing is, those things were ALWAYS a superficial means to an end. Before social media, you simply had to do those things to get laid, find a girlfriend/wive, etc. There was no alternative. But now that you can obtain those things without having to go outside, most people don't bother. Why go through the hassle of pretending you're into some bullshit hobby so that you can get access to other people, when you can do this at home through your home or computer? There's no point.
This is all just part of the wider blackpill. Phones and social media changed nothing except that people now don't have to pretend.
