Hi OP, I too observed this and also studied it as a culture. Basically people today do not have the capacity to give back while they use the internet to max out their senses. Easy for them to find random people and also easy to join fringe groups that creates a toxic cycle of meet new people to be entertained and ghost when they are not entertained.
Any relationship is about building something which has cooperation, sharing and caring, and staying when it’s hard. All those hallmarks are not present today. Because it isn’t present, any date is basically audition for 5 seconds of fame for what the person wants to be entertained with. Also they can hide what they want and basically lurk to get it because of the fringe group there are part of.
