Just to offer a different perspective, this line

> There are real humans out there, put down the phone man.

was the part of this thread that actually provoked disgust for me. It's akin to telling a person suffering from depression "you should just be happy!" as if they haven't tried.

There are people out there who will never succeed in finding human companionship, it's a fact of life. I see it as a positive that they can at least find some form of companionship, because the alternative is a dark path that can lead to self-loathing, radicalization, and in the worst case scenario, violence.
