Will you pay to have a anonymous friend to talk with?

Question

I was wondering what if there was a service which is based on talk therapy and where you can have a virtual friend who is a real person and can be based on your preferences like gender, hobbies likeability, language, region and many such options. There is no restriction as such to what you can talk, fully secured & end-to-end encrypted with decentralized mode of operations (server only works to propagate connection between two nodes.)A truly Anonymous talk therapy service

It's always nice to talk to someone... and everyone needs someone to talk to. You can try starting it off as a free service and offer a Pro plan though I must warn you: unless you're creating your own business, running your own business, or somehow are teaching it as the university level, psychology either requires more education for better pay or you make your own way.
Your idea does already exist on my first google search: https://freeonlinetherapy.org/
I'm sure you could explore your options -- we are currently living in world where the pandemic has caused a majority of the world to be in quarantine lockdown in isolation. There's a reason that solitary confinement was ruled as inhumane. Yet, here we all are... some of us are lucky or not so lucky to be locked in a house day in and day out with our families while others are lucky or not so lucky to be in a small apartment by themselves day in and day out with just a virtual connection.
I'd say go for it, but do your research beforehand. Just know that there are heaps of free services out there including phone lines people can call and talk to someone for free. And in society we currently live in... many people aren't looking to pay any money for such a service.
That's just my thoughts.
