Thats true but online content has always had its place. 25 years ago finding forums and irc was a god send, my lonely hobbies and interests became things i could regularly talk about. Its just modern social media abused the system, the algorithm, and us.
Which is all to say i agree about needing mostly irl, but there is also something of online community that irl could never replicate (for most people).
