[Star Trek] How prevalent is holo-addiction?

On earth or other wealthy planets where holodecks are presumably plentiful, are they available to everyone equally, or must people pay for them in some manner? 

If people must pay, are there holodeck junkies? Are there people turning tricks for holodeck credits?

If there is unlimited availability, how much of the population spends most of their waking hours in the holodeck?

Exactly the same as every other addiction throughout history.

By strict logic, even in the 21st century, There was enough electronic entertainment to keep any individual completely occupied for the entirety of their life. Living on the most basic food and shelter, a welfare payment is more then enough to provide this, especially with the prevalence of piracy.

Yet the vast majority of people, even those with ample free time and money, still used it purely as a regular entertainment medium, exactly the same as books 50 years before.

The instances of holodeck addiction today can be viewed in exactly the same way, The result of a mental irregularity drives the addiction to escapism, rather than the medium providing for easy addiction.
