The para-social aspect would be miniscule next to the real reason is subscription creep, and why companies pushed the subscription model so hard. I am sure many of us have ended up spending money we didn't want to on subscriptions of one form or another, either because we forgot about it or didn't get around to ending it.If you don't understand why people keep paying to this very obvious milker, just take a look to his picarto streams.
I did that many years ago. You can see that people watching the stream love, venerate the guy. He's quite entertaining and also shameless but street smart, he doesn't complain about piracy like others, because he sells the same thing over and over again.
People liked the game but even more loved the guy. They don't just pay for a game, the donate to a guy they love.
You all have to understand that loneliness is real, and people will pay to have even an illusionary friend.
You can't be just deluded and scammed for over a decade and say you were cheated on.
Many of those subscribers will be people who have forgotten about it or never getting around to cancelling it.
