i'm BORED

Lockdown leaves Daniel bored and trapped; Japan is inaccessible, while his main channel declines despite a 70,000-view Cyberpunk video. He reports roughly $12,000 stock-market gains since November, including $1,300 from GameStop, and invests about £8,000 during Friday’s dip. He hides from visiting children, dreads social contact and landlord inspection, loses account access, and ends amid viewers’ police-report threats.

Investing increasingly substitutes for work, purpose, and social life as lockdown magnifies avoidance and resentment.
