As Doc has talked about for years, walled gardens are not conducive to mature relationships between people.
What does that mean?
It means that very few people choose to only related to a small slice of pre-defined people in real life. Most of us would rather let our interest in real people determine our desire to have a relationship, not a priori categories, like "occupation," "zip code," or "family income." Those three are analogous to social media walled gardens, pre-determined parameters that delimit those with whom it is possible to communicate in a chosen manner.
That approach is past its prime. Here are some more thoughts on the issue.
