>>52600073>but then you're flirting with developing parasocial dependency for no reason at allI mean this has always been a bullshit argument for two reasons - those who do interact with their oshi frequently are usually known by said oshi (therefore it isn't a parasocial relationship - unheathy, maybe, but not parasocial), and those who don't (like me) aren't engaging in a parasocial relationship at all.
>the cleaner solution would be to get a point where you can truly quit and just do something else with your timeI can and often do.

Honestly I think this place is less healthy for me than the streamers, and it's still better than most of the rest of the site most of the time.
