You said the keyword - "filter".

When you're talking in person, you have an implied fixed amount of time for interaction. Therefore, both parties only touch on things that are important given that time restraint. With social media, we lose this natural content policing since its "always on".

And the monologues... Speech is about speaking in gaps, or waiting turns, or as you said - "talk about as much as they talk."

When you have seconds, minutes, or days to respond on social media... we start adding exhausting fluff.
