Overall this has sort of been a small section of a very large trend that has of course started decades ago and has continued through the increase in connectivity.
Many musical artists and other artists have tended to use the internet including its social side as a way to promote and sometimes answer questions and so this became the norm.
This has unfortunately put artists and the communities that form in response to their art in a very peculiar place of separation. We are all human and there are many ways in which we can all understand eachother, share, and embrace differences. It is just difficult for most artists because there are so many people in the communities and only a few of them! It is an intellectual and emotional endeavor to communicate with even one person who may be a stranger to you, about the art or about anything. Part of what makes it difficult of course is that for most artists it happens so infrequently, so there is less experience and ironing out of confusion for "both sides".
Yet, it is still a very big missed opportunity and seemingly quite unintentional; I don't feel that musical artists ever set out to have as much distance from their communities as ended up happening.
It will just take a bit more time.
