I'd argue that friends that you have met online are still friends. Being on a platform like twitter, or dev.to :p exposes you to more people and more opinions.

Also, gen X and gen Y (those more receptive to social media) read more than ever before. Lest not forget that scrolling through twitter still means that you are reading, there are just pictures next to the lines of text.

YMMV but kids are increasingly being given the opportunity to be creative that they previously wouldn't because "non creative" jobs were the only way you could make money. Advertising/media agencies/departments are constantly competing for your attention and finding more and more creative ways of doing so.
