The decline of hosting: Americans stay home and stop inviting people over
Original: Everybody’s home. No one’s coming over
Derek Thompson argues that Americans are hosting guests at home far less than in the past, a trend he calls 'the death of the American host'. He links the decline to social isolation, remote work, and shifting habits, with people staying home yet rarely inviting others over. Commenters on Hacker News are debating the claim, with many agreeing that in-person socialising has thinned out and others questioning the evidence.
Why now: Social isolation and the collapse of in-person socialising is a live concern, and a prominent essay making that argument is sparking wide debate.
