A few months ago during a campaign to raise organ donor shortage awareness me and colleagues approached hundreds of people within the shopping district in a crowded city center. And roughly 50% of all people would simply pass you by without giving any intention to respond. Not even a simple notion to state they would have no time right now, they simply flat out ignore you instead.

So why, why would a virtual world be any different? It's just what society is like these days. In case you travel a lot and visit both cities as well as rural areas, it's very clear that in particular within cities this sort of anti-social behavior is the norm.
