Yeah

There are jobs where it's specifically to be in the Internet but if you are actually doing "important" stuff and/or just busy living you likely won't be trying to scrape through social platforms for a sense of cheap easy joy and validation.

I think in it's earlier days when it was the cool new social space it made more sense to show up and show off but if you have connections now you no longer need or maybe even want that kind of exposure.
