I'm sure there's a good study out there on the impact of social media on social connectedness, and I'm guessing it's a negative correlation. People seem to be using social media as an alternative for real social interaction, which increases rewards (more eyeballs) and decreases consequences (no "real" friends; can always find a community to approve of you). I'm not sure what the solution here is, but I'm worried that we'll trample our rights in attempting to solve the problem without actually solving it.
