I don’t really think morality and ethics have changed. Those bad actors have always existed. Everything is just more visible now. I remember stories from 50 years ago about women being raped while bystanders did nothing to stop it. The only difference now is instead of just watching they record it.
Seems to be many more of them now.....

Well overall population is more but mainly everything is much more visible now. It’s the Information Age.

Just because it's reported more doesn't mean it's the same number of instances as years ago.
Definitely more occurrences now than back then.

To get "clicks", folks visiting his post, for virtual popularity and/or money if he has ads.
If thoughts of how it might harm others were a concern, social media wouldn't be as harmful as it is.

Simply the way society has become.
Trust me.
Supporting evidence: So may stores in large cities closing because of theft.
If it wasn't worse, they wouldn't be closing, would they.....

I see that as not so much an issue of morality and ethics as it is a symptom of greater societal ills, like homelessness. Not that makes ok, but most of us have never viewed the woman stealing a loaf of bread to feed her kids the same way we’d view a guy stealing a radio.

While true, a different reason (scenario), there are more people stealing "radios".
and clothes, and everything else they can get their hands on easily....

There was an infamous case in NYC in 1964, where a woman was being killed and was crying for help. People in the nearby apartment building heard her cries but did nothing.
Kitty Genovese was stabbed to death within sight and sound of 38 neighbors. 1964: Kitty Genovese is stabbed to death near her apartment in New York City, while neighbors ignore her cries for help during three separate attacks lasting 35 minutes.
According to police, no fewer than 38 people heard — and possibly saw — at least one of the attacks by Genovese's knife-wielding assailant. Nobody came to her aid, and only one bothered calling the police — and only after the third attack had killed her.
This appalling display of collective indifference sparked sensationalized press coverage, horrified the nation, and prompted numerous psychological studies into what would become known as Genovese syndrome, or more generically, the bystander effect.
Witnesses interviewed subsequently gave two main excuses for doing nothing: fear and "not wanting to get involved." This caused a police captain to wonder why anyone would hesitate to pick up a phone and call for help from the safety of home.
The police maintained that had they been called after the first attack, Genovese would likely have survived her wounds. A squad car was on the scene within two minutes of when the call finally came in, so it seems reasonable to assume that the cops were right.
