I wonder if "human BS" is just the frustration that real human communication is less convenient and demands more attention than the other forms of communication we've gotten used to.

I think that applies prior to texting, social media, video calls too though. Except back then, I could avoid people by either not giving them my number or saying I wasn't home when they called.

Now you're expected to have your phone on you at all times, then little Jimmy from elementary school finds you on social media and wants to know if you're interested in essential oils.
