    Exactly. The “whale” model is especially insidious here becuase it’s targeting emotional needs rather than just gaming dopamine hits. Some companionship apps are already using tiered subscription models where you pay more for “deeper relationships” or special interactions. It’s basically emotional exploitation as a service.
