If the Long After-Effects of Covid Mean You Have no Real Family or Friends to Talk to This Christmas, Why Not Pay Random Strangers to Pretend to be Them Instead?

by Steven Tucker
27 December 2024 7:00 AM

The Christmas holidays are here, but what if you have nobody close to spend them with? Rates of loneliness are rising right across the West, with the WHO declaring the condition to be an official “global health concern” back in 2023; possibly because the WHO had also declared everyone should remain quarantined hermetically inside their own homes for several months at a time back in 2020. Either that, or because of the ever-plummeting rates of global fertility and family-size I talked about in a previous article on this site.

Within such a solitary environment, some people are just so desperate for someone – anyone! – to talk to, that they will hand over escorts good money to listen to their incredibly dull conversations about how nobody truly understands or loves them properly these days. Trouble is, many whores take Christmas off too, leaving some poor punters still lonely anyway. What could be the solution?


To read the rest of this article, you need to donate at least £5/month or £50/year to the Daily Sceptic, then create an account on this website. The easiest way to create an account after you’ve made a donation is to click on the ‘Log In’ button on the main menu bar, click ‘Register’ underneath the sign-in box, then create an account, making sure you enter the same email address as the one you used when making a donation. Once you’re logged in, you can then read all our paywalled content, including this article. Being a donor will also entitle you to comment below the line, discuss articles with our contributors and editors in a members-only Discord forum and access the premium content in the Sceptic, our weekly podcast. A one-off donation of at least £5 will also entitle you to the same benefits for one month. You can donate here.

There are more details about how to create an account, and a number of things you can try if you’re already a donor – and have an account – but cannot access the above perks on our Premium page.
