I think OP is expressing concern that maybe young people aren't living there as much as you'd hope.
Most of these issues, and the extent to which they are issues, are in the eye of the beholder.

Does being terminally online contribute more or less to this? I'm still not sure, but leaning towards more. People always parroted others, but now with social reach being so concentrated, it seems like everyone parrots from a smaller pool. The consequence/reward for expression are much more well defined in the online world as well.
