Old media did this too. Newspapers, yellow rags, pulp fiction, special interest magazines. Chock full of physiology-abusing tricks.

I’ll also add that the other people around you use social media - so if you want contact, it’s now harder than it used to be since fewer people are eager to strike up an anonymous conversation.

This has especially ruined dating.
