Summary

While headlines focus on a 'loneliness epidemic,' a massive industry has quietly emerged to monetize social isolation—from friendship apps to AI companions to co-working memberships. We examine how the same forces creating disconnection are now profiting from the solutions, and what this reveals about how modern problems become modern markets.
