There's absolutely no way it's worse than porn or obesity or - hell - war or climate change or any of the millions of shitty things humans do to each other. In fact some people might learn emotional intelligence.

Hard disagree based on neuroscience, psychology, and anthropology. There are multiple systems of the brain that deal with emotional connection. Sexuality is one system but pair bonding is a more whole brain and body bond.
Further, porn is generally an act of consumption not interaction (I get that is changing) but interaction poses a new risk of an influenza feedback loop. That will affect a person’s entire life.
I could go on about the distinction but I don’t want to write a thesis with my thumbs.
