You act like everyone has aspirations of greatness, of being the best, the wealthiest or the most successful.
I am 55. I aspire to be none of those things. I aspire to be happy each day. To play poker when I want to. To be able to afford next month’s rent, etc.
I got a job in April after four years of limited working to go with playing poker.
Not every one is built the same way mentally and that doesn’t make us unstable or in need of help.

This is mostly on point. I think the majority of people passively hate Tim just because, and this is just my opinion, he appears sometimes that he thinks he is above the low class of peasants. When you can tell his life isn't going as well as he thinks it should, and if you watch enough you can tell just based on his attitude and demeanor, he does come off like a dick with how he talks about other people. That gets on people's nerves I think. I can see why people like him and/or look up to his lifestyle, but I would imagine the majority of those people are similar to him in their own lives already.
Tim has a job, he just doesn't have a boss, sort of. At this point, I would imagine that his major income stream is YouTube. However, he seems to be out of ideas in life and so his content gets stale. He has a regular life with a regular job just like a guy who roofs houses does, he just doesn't have to be on time to answer to someone everyday. It appeals to him and he's happy with it just like that guy who roofs all day and drinks a six pack at night watching TV.
That concept is somewhat weird to me too, but I understand the interest in just showing up and shutting off. People who are extremely driven and demanding in their personal lives have a hard time understanding how those are mutually exclusive from being successful. Some people are successful because they feel successful, whether you like it or not.
As someone who is interested in human psychology and a passive interest in poker, he is actually pretty interesting to assess. His content is super stale and boring though. That seems more though because he builds up a thing and then never gets around to accomplishing it.
