It's fun for the first few months. Catch up on games movies etc. Gets boring after a few months, most people need goals in life and find it hard to set them for themselves...

And what goals would I be getting done making advertisements to feed on people's time? I felt like a zombie when I was working. I do understand that if you get a job you really love doing and don't feel like what you're putting in your time in isn't pointless. But that kind of job is very hard to find, and you definitely can set goals for yourself. Opensource projects are a good example of that. Mangas, indie games, etc. You just need enough drugs to make it work.

“You just need enough drugs to make it work”

You figured out the name of my memoir!

It's not impossible, but it can be hard. A job offers some obligated (often real life) social interaction. Might be annoying sometimes, but none at all isn't healthy either. Many people really aren't capable of setting goals for themselves, having their own business or networks etc. Most jobs offer more than money to an employee, the employee might not realise it themselves.
