I assume its partially the commercialization of literally all social spaces. Plus, most major social websites are so big now that it kinda feels like screaming into the void.

Agreed. People do a lot of their socializing online in spaces so large that there's no real community. You can interact with hundreds of new people a day without ever truly meeting anyone.
