That's a form of cope. The average special ed regard Walmart greeter from buttfuck nowhere Wyoming doesn't have over 100K subscribers, a mini cult following willing to fund his lifestyle and pay him money to do stuff and people making content about them online. If Cobra took even a miniscule effort towards improving his streams, interacting with new people and stepping outside of his trailer, he could become a lot more than he is now. Except Cobra takes no effort to improve anything ever even when people who sympathize with him try to give him advice.
At the end of the day Josh is just a lazy little Boglim who has given up on taking any risks and stepping outside of his comfort zone. Like he likes to sniff his own farts, Cobes likes to dwell in his own self-pity and cope.
