I agree with you but I think we are kind of the oddballs at this point.
It does seem quite normal now to keep up with people you haven't seen in 10 years in person and will never see again. Maybe even people you would go out of your way to make sure you don't see in person but you can give them a thumbs up when they post a picture of their lunch.
I have no idea why anyone does this but it would be hard for me to say that not having any social media like us is "normal".
I think many got use to the most incredible labor market of a generation or two and we are just now back to something more historically normal.
