Socializing. People don't know how to communicate with their local surroundings anymore, or don't want to. I was in one of the first groups of kids to grow up having a fair number of online-only friends, and I think it's great in a lot of ways, but I also see an atrophy of civility and sociability happening in physical communities, and think the accessibility of niche culture online has something to do with it. Some of this may be rose colored glasses or the fact that I'm older and less pleasant to look at, or other biases/confounds, but that's my observation.
