It's going to be a more and more salient question.  It's already
real on dating sites.  As I understand it the chances of you having
a positive interaction with an actual human being is fairly low on
any well-trafficked dating site.

  How I view the internet depends on which part of it I cherry-pick
  to look at.

  Why would the author even expect a positive interaction with an
  actual human being when going on a commercial dating site?

  I don't know if commercial dating sites on the internet were
  ever any different or better.

  Back in the day, before the internet was a thing, there used
  to be these marriage arrangement institutes. So I could write
  about the "death of the real world" like this: "Folks, I've been
  out there in the real world, and let me tell you, it's a pretty
  bleak scene. If you hire one of those marriage arrangement
  institutes to try and line you up with some nice ladies
  - it's a total disaster!" Yeah, but in the real world there are
  thousands of other things besides matchmaking services.

  The internet is infrastructure. It provides the opportunity for
  peer-to-peer structures just as much as centralized ones. People pick
  and choose what they want from it. If people tend to use centralized
  services in certain cases, it's likely not the internet's fault.

  You can actually meet people over the internet, but it might happen
  more often through other means than commercial dating services.
  (I can't say much about that, since I don't have personal experience
  with those commercial services nor have I read much about them.)
