But with today's fluid relationship types - a classical couple relationship isn't needed as much, isn't it? And on top of that, a lot of problems that were before solved by having a partner (something breaking, don't know how to cook, just lonely and want to chat, etc) now can be solved by various businesses and services. I think that it's possible that for some people classical relationships aren't as optimal anymore.

I think a lot of people are desperately unhappy and lonely and a classical relationship (either sexual, or simply close friendship) is exactly what is missing from their lives, and all the businesses and services that try to fill this gap aren’t cutting it.

  They aren't trying to fill the gap. Filling the gap would make the profits dry up.

    Not if you fill it with a service rather than durable goods.
