I think it has more to do with the way people interacted with the internet. Because it used to be like an alternate reality, a sort of game where you pick up a pseudonym and explore your interests without bringing in your daily problems. Like a bigger version of your nerdy hobbyist gathering.
But with social media and the likes, not only has it attracted all sorts of people, but people started to use it as an extension of their lifes. They saw how to make money, they saw how tweets change politics. Thus naturally it stopped becoming just harmless pasttime and now people treat it as even more real or more important than reality. just look how people can't function without a phone outside
