I can't read the article in full, but my question would be if it's excluding people on video calls and such. I'm social with people on audio or video calls 2-4 nights a week, and in-person 2-3 more nights, which is less in-person time than 20 years ago, but probably about the same or more nights per week I'm spending hours doing a social activity with friends.

Is it clear that it's worse if I'm playing computer games with friends online vs. board games in person? How much is this just a panic about "but video chats are less social than sitting in a room"? In my mind, I'm more social with friends who live thousands of miles away than I would have ever been able to be before, which has allowed me to have much more lasting friendships with people now than people I was even friends with 10 years ago when video chat was far less effective.
