The Loneliness Economy and Why No One Owes You an Instant Reply

from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams

In the first part of today’s show, we explored the Loneliness Economy — how, in an age dominated by digital interactions, isolation itself has become profitable. From companionship apps to subscription-based “connection services,” loneliness is no longer just an emotion, but a booming business. Today’s unpopular opinion was “An instant reply to your message is a courtesy… not a right.” In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans to name a basic human right.
