What is gone are the days of people actually going to look at tanks. Seems since the social media thing took over, people would rather see a picture on instagram rather than driving across the city to look at a tank in person. If your not going to make face to face contact, how can you expect to actually start a friendship and give each other coral.
The hobby has become less of a community and more of a instagram follower, let's give likes, sort of a community.
