28. Not at all surprising that it peaked in 2020

Dec 2023

which will likely be called the "lost year" by future historians because everynody was stuck at home while a nasty disease for which we had few treatments killed people.

I'm an introvert, so lockdown was great for me. Extroverts are the majority and they had a really tough time with only virtua contact allowed if they wanted to live.

So, desperate for social contact, a lot of them fell down the rabbit hole

Now that social interaction is restored, most of them seem to have climbed back out.

Honestly, I thought it would take longer, but in person contact is so important to extroverts that of course the online stuff will get ignored once they can be out and about again.
