I find it quite sad we have managed to capitalize on parasocial relationships (not onlyfans only)

  This is simply a digitized for of what was centuries, even millenia, of worship to "important people". athletes, celebrities, rulers, tycoons, etc. The only difference is that the internet lets you form very small, very local parasocial relationships now. What had to be boosted by cable TV or radio decades before can be some tiny "channel" with 20 members directly talking to the "celebrity".
