I think you're onto something when it comes to internet influences, yes. When I speak to older men about this, many of them are deeply grateful that the internet didn't exist when they were adolescents and in their early twenties. Many of them went through phases where they were depressed or had low self-esteem related to rejection and they got over it because that's what normal people do, but they wonder whether they would have been seduced by RedPill, incel culture etc. if it had been there at the time.

Of course, that's not the entire issue at all. It's one of many issues which I couldn't even begin to describe in a single post.
