There is no longer any novelty in being a person connected to a server with the ability to chat/interact in the wake of proliferated social media sites. There is no longer any novelty in the written word thanks to AI chatbots
Twitter basically blew a hole in everyones heads & now noone cares about talking to strangers online, they just scroll & read other peoples thoughts, occassionally hitting the like button for pavlovian response input output
For example, MMOs as a genre are dead because you have zero value as a "human actor" theres no novelty about talking to a person online anymore, no magic there, so people just basically play these as 'straight games' while ignoring everyone, so the games die and are largely siloed experiences compared to yesteryear
XO's decline is also a great example, most threads are just XO posters acting as RSS feeds to bigger social media sites where they get their "fix" of input output and a bunch of middle aged indians using this as a staging ground for their gay siloed groupchats with other indians scheming on how to harvest the last remaining morsels of white human capital into their hives, maybe if you keep making 0 reply threads with X/Twitter links this will happen? idk
