Casey Neistat had an interesting take on this in one of his recent videos. He described it as completely fulfilling in all of the components of friendship and community, but without the intimacy, which I think is quite apt. I do believe wholly that casual friendships are almost indistinguishable online as they are in person; however close friendships and relationships on the other hand require an element of intimacy that cannot be fulfilled.
