It wouldn't be popular. People crave escapism.

The very fact that you're satirising exactly that is what defeats the purpose.

You'd be surprised. Everything can be sold. Companies have figured out how to monetize anticonsumerism long time ago.

I think it would. I'm sure many people would relate to it. /r/me_irl has a success of its own.

There are many many people who feel guilty because their life could be more successful. It's a very hard thing to unroot out of your mind, but laughing about it is a huge relief.
