Yes, that is because in today's day and age, most answers to "more mature" technological questions (like UNIX and Linux, which have been around for a long time), already exist somewhere on the net.
As I mentioned earlier, the issue is that there is an abundant of knowledge on the net and that knowledge continues to explode, so a much higher percentage of people can get the answers they seek from search (especially for mature technologies) versus asking questions and waiting for as answer or, as you mentioned, the need to interact with others.
That's the normal progression of the rise of the information-based global society.
