I'm probably drifting from the blog post here:

I'm usually averse to pointing out conflicts like you mention but there's certainly an sort of "internet culture" of playing the game of internet imagery and etc and ... decrying it / pining for something simpler / more fulfilling.

They know they can just go be simpler and give it a shot right?

People are full of conflicts so that alone isn't a surprise, but the scale of this seesaw on the internet feels weirdly large.

I sometimes think they mean that the people they see with all the "titles, achievements, influence" are not the people they like, and some simpler ideal is just the natural argument against them. Meanwhile ... they would rather be the folks with "titles, achievements, influence.".
