Did smartphones ruin social human interaction?
No.
They did ruin online interaction though, filled the internet with normies.

The internet was glorious throughout the 2000s until these fucking normies were able to browse on their fucking phones since most of them couldn't always be bothered to go to a desktop or laptop.
I've been reading Aziz Ansari's book Modern Romance and it's written with a sociologist about how disruptive new technology has been in the social and dating scenes.
But yeah, smartphones and the Internet ruin social interactions. Nobody talks, meets up, communicates, or connects anymore. At least I got 4chan on my phone though.

So what is it about normies that ruined your life exactly? Lack of acceptance towards beastiality? Pedophilia? Not as much cursing?.

The influx of normies everywhere on the internet lead to mass commercialization of alot of things now, especially JewTube

Not just that but the rise of sites that connect things as well.
In the 2000's everyone went to a lot of different sites and explored what was out there. Now you only have to go to a few sites and you get more information that you want to deal with.

Normies have surprisingly undiverse interests, and are easily exploited by clickbait and advertising, turning the internet into an advertising clickbait shitfest.
Of course ads were still around before normies, mostly annoying popups and such, but now ads are integrated into the internet rather than being a surface phenomenon.
Twitch did.
