I think your analysis is spot on. Regarding that last part, I would add another disturbing argument. Some things are definitely easier to get, but the things that matter the most such as strong relationships or a sense of being useful and valued in a community are arguably harder to come by. Modern games and porn mimic having access to these needs and draw people in but fail to provide real satisfaction so the individual ends up like a moth on the lightbulb that burns it. You are under the illusion that your life is going well while at the same time you can sense that it isn't.
