Not really, we've just made it way easier to see what the average people are thinking/doing/believing at any given time. Kinda like how the "Florida Man" meme hinges entirely on Florida's sunshine laws making police reports freely accessible, thus making it seem like Floridians are getting arrested for zanier things just because they're the only place we can access the records, social media and the internet have made it easy to see every deranged opinion, widespread falsehood, and bizarre event that in earlier times would be lucky to make local news, now can get 10 million views on Twitter within hours of it happening. So it's all just a side effect of the ease and rapidness of modern unfiltered communication.
