Paying an escort to spend time with you certainly doesn’t come with the same sacrifices as an organic relationship. And, unlike chatbots, “nerdy escorts” are real people who can provide human perspectives on things like AI, crypto and economics instead of just echoing back a tech worker’s thoughts on such subjects.
That’s how these lonely bigoted dorks with new money think being rich and powerful and cool works - overpay for whatever you want and force others to give it to you, with money you gained through slave labor, destructive practices, stealing from future generations and corruption. They think might makes right, so yeah, they think they’re elite for paying people to pretend to care about them when they’re not on stage or social media or in a board room.
That sadly seems to check out. I suppose they see themselves as somewhat too good to talk to the common person, so paying someone to talk to them is a privilege for them. Never mind the fact that once you give someone money they are going to change their attitude towards you in hopes you give them more. I wonder if some of these folks have ever had a normal conversation that didn’t involve some scifi shit. (I love scifi)
