I think that it's more that we've commoditized all aspects of community, and at the same time have stopped offering any sense of financial opportunities to young people.

Social groups are now built around expensive hobbies or membership subscriptions. There aren't even really any free spaces for people to organize around. Even the alt right groups preying on lonely people are usually just trying to sell supplements or merch.
