Staying in bed all day, refusing to work - China’s “Bed Rotting” Obsession
Very interesting and in a way shocking response to late stage #capitalism × digitalization

No.
Why?
They do that on purpose
Of course. It is very hard to stay most of the day in bed, unless you are depressed. The youtube comments are all agreeing that this video pictures depression, but I agree with you that the people pictured are obvionsly not depressed.
So why do they do this? What is their purpose? What do they gain by staying in bed?
This "bed rotting" is exactly the live style people suffering from post covid andME/CFS have to adopt to be able to survive, just look into !ME/CFS@lemmy.blahay.zone or r/cfs. (sorry for pointing to reddit - !ME/CFS@lemmy.blahay.zone is just pretty small and more technical, r/cfs is detter if you want to get an idea what is it like to suffer from chronic fatigue.)

We're trying to reduce the numbers of hours a person has to work.
We talk about the end of paid work being mandatory for survival.
