More than likely not caused by porn but less in person social situations

In jest I'd say it's caused not by porn but by Counter Strike.

Realistically I see much more issues with decay of Third Places (social meeting spaces) & decay of local society in general. But rather than have no culture & be bored, we have incredibly engaging interactive media to go engage in: CounterStrike or TikTok or whatever else.

I don't think these things are per se to blame. Cost of living being what it is, lots of people can't afford to go out to bars & clubs, one of the most traditional gathering spots for people. It's unclear what a lot of folks would change, what else they'd do, if the IT/media link they rely. on so heavily were to shut off.
