It is a natural human tendency to shift blame to external boogeymen, but to speak frankly, I think there's something deeper going on with the loneliness epidemic than nudey videos on the internet. A seemingly large chunk of both sexes have major personality issues that prevent them from getting along with each other.

This sounds like the inverse of the white, “every generation thinks they invented sex.” I say that because I doubt people have changed that much.

Hah yeah I don't necessarily believe it's all a generational thing, because I see it in the older folks as well. And every generation has had its masculinity grifters. This one is obsessed with porn. The biggest generational differences I've noticed are that women seem to need men less, people are losing shape at earlier ages, and a lot of people have become very outspoken about distrusting members of the other sex. Just from those factors I think it would be natural to see increased competition for the people who have everything together.
