I get the feeling that the redditors and "ex"-junkies that are jealous of cobes' lifestyle somehow see it as him living the "rich influencer" lifestyle/culture.
They somehow cannot comprehend that living a lonely, isolated life where you waste away, collecting a tugboat because you're too regarded and unmotivated to work (or even attempt to get some fresh air), is not the same lifestyle that the "idle rich" are living. The BOY gets a couple hundred dollars a month from donations if he's lucky. He's not some LA socialite whose only job is to network; he's a retard in Wyoming whose brain is fried from booze, duster, and the internet, and I think they truly do not understand the difference.
All they see is "I want that", without actually realizing how shallow and miserable a life it actually is.
