Do they stay on the system and continue to pay? Then I'd argue they're not becoming less lonely. It looks more like regular addiction, money buys you a hit, but you'll soon be back to craving more, especially when your general (social) life isn't providing a lot of positivity.
- hackinthebochs 6y agoMost things people enjoy in life you would be hard pressed to find a distinction between it an addiction.
- austhrow743 6y agoWhat your describing as regular addiction sounds a lot like any and every service anyone pays for. You're not getting a thing as is, you pay for thing, you get thing, if you stop paying for thing it goes away. You could slap any service in there.
- luckylion 6y agoYes, sure, "we're all addicted to oxygen" etc. When you stop paying for Netflix, you're usually not feeling it emotionally. You might be a bit more bored at night, but that's about it. It seems different when you're paying for pseudo relationships.
