Hey! I can relate to what you say. I value when I get quality comments and see active engagement on my posts. It does matter more than money. Because we want to feel understood, we want to feel we connect, especially with our minds. I value intellectual connection a lot, next to the emotional one.
I believe that isolation is not good. People are social creatures and love does transcends. These times always hide opportunity, like any difficult times throughout the history. The idea is that people always have a choice. Always. The only limitation is their mind. Nobody forces anyone into anything. Manipulation exists, but we were given a brain to use it. Who is to blame if people choose technology instead of connection, money over love, comfort zone versus progress?
