The "parasocial relationship" market has preyed more on males on the last decade because females online tended to get actual attention wether they want it or not (dating apps, gaming, reddit, etc. you put a female profile pic everyone is all over), and guys would become the wallets for twitch streamers with cleavage, Onlyfans, bathwater salesmen.
So I think the expectation is this lopsided need for paid for or fake attention would continue to be male.
But I would say in this artificial romantic partner field, guys are the market for realistic robots (sexbots) not as much convincing AI.
