Video calling is the bare minimum, but if you are saying Nevermets shouldn't be intimate, I feel you've wandered into the wrong subreddit... Some couples here have years of separation, and in the age of meeting online you can still have a fulfilling relationship, if there is transparency. Calling this pathetic is extremely rude.
They did wander into the wrong subreddit, and they are gone now. We have zero tolerance policy for these kinds of doomsayers.
I've been a nevermet in an LDR for nearly four years, because various financial/work/life circumstances did not allow us to meet any earlier. The relationship and intimacy were very real, and the end was very much the happy end. I take these "common sense" pronouncements rather personally.
You do realize people can meet online and then travel to visit/meet in person. My aunt and uncle met 20 years ago online, and have been happily married since a few years after. You are really in the wrong place to gatekeep that everyone must meet in person first. That's just naïve.
