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.

What 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.

Yes, 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.

Most things people enjoy in life you would be hard pressed to find a distinction between it an addiction.
