This. While not me personally, there is obviously a market (Japan comes to mind) for virtual, non-human based interactions and relationships.
While it seems pretty clear to me subjectively that removing human interaction from your life has a negative effect it's still desired by some and they're entitled to that.
i don't disagree with you, but if you're already terminally online whats the difference.
The internet and social media has exacerbated a societal problem that has always existed, so now we have the problem why not make it more meaningful and less depressing.
