>>10621823>Is it a cure or just a way of coping with loneliness?I guess I don't see much of a difference. If their symptoms are cured, there's no practical difference. Again, though, they'd be much more fulfilled by finding someone irl.
>In the past people could find a significant other much easily than they can today. What happened?God only knows. Must just be the consequences of our new tech, same as how the previous revolutions in it caused unforseen problems in the past. There's also the economic aspect of things; at least in my country, people are working harder for less, which is hardly conducive to finding a parter and raising a family. It does seem at times that the only way to solve these things is to change it fundamentally, but how that should be done I have no idea. I'm cautiously hopeful, nonetheless.
