I was born in 1985 and just turned 30, and I've been in a monogamous relationship with someone I met online when I was 15 for five years living together now. I see others in our age group and they are as much broken as you suggest. A lot of them are selfish and in love with themselves or their narratives, but more are selfish for lack of agency in things; so many people are busy trying to make the basics meet, they don't give the time or energy to think of others as we push ourselves harder to make our personal dreams happen.

My entire presence online with different communities is one of charity and hope, and it's the most wholesome activity I participate in. The same feeling of spending time with friends in real life is the same I purport to have online, and I've seen more matches made among those same friends and strangers when everyone has, for a modern term, a chill place for netflix.
