I'm with >>41141033 on this.
Remote work with little to no voice/video interaction required, especially work with a lot of downtime, takes a LOT less out of someone like me who went between being NEET when I could and employed when I couldn't for several years.
You can get up essentially right before work, you have no commute by default, your break/lunch time go a LOT farther, you have much more freedom in choosing where you actually want to live (dependent on internet access and cost of living), and outside of meetings (if any) you are free to dress and present yourself as is most comfortable to you.
Before the work-from-home revolution of 2020 I would more advise someone NEET who needs $$$ to get something like a security guard or <span class="sjis">paid</span> janitor night shift to avoid a good chunk of the pain points of having a job, since full remote work was reserved mostly for very select technical workers who could set their own terms regardless of management's insistence, or the self-employed/contracted who worked independently of them. However, now I'd also seriously advise also looking into remote work if the core transactional nature of performing [work] for [$$$] if actually dedicating a slot of time or performing a certain quota isn't that unbearable by itself.

I'd advise the above. I've actually helped a long-term friend who was just considered "good at computers" get a remote starter job support that ISN'T following a script and dealing with a Sisyphean queue of pissed of callers (wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy). It did require some self-study and experimentation on his part, but even picking up knowledge in stuff like Powershell and bash scripting, Active Directory administration, cloud web console fluency, and (unfortunately due to cost) certifications that a lot places require puts your foot more in the door than you'd think, and doesn't require much creativity. That's just 1 example though.

You want your words to have that effect, don't you?
From what I've read, most people an hero do so due to instability or sudden traumatic events that seem insurmountable. Getting a long jail sentence for the first time, special other breaks up, parents or pets pass unexpectedly, acquiring debt suddenly, getting an immediately life-inhibiting disease or injury, etc. Sure, this can happen to NEETs, but if you think they're the majority of people demographically prone to do so I'd bet you a good dollar they're not.
Even if someone who is a NEET has existential episodes over it, which they may not like myself, that alone is unlikely to result in immediate action since that is more of a constant, gradual rut than a unexpected ravine in life. If someone says they're planning to commit suicide in the future, they likely are just keeping it in mind as an escapist possibility or using it as a call for empathic attention (for the time being at least). Anecdotally most of the long-term online friends I've had that are either fully NEET or NEET when they are still around, if not on the exact same handles or accounts.
There's been more than a few times that I've seen someone abandon their online accounts/handles and seemingly leave without a trace, but from the times people have come back under another handle or just reached out personally their explanation is usually that is just because of some troll/stalker latching on to them, doxxing them, etc. with enough effort and time that it isn't feasible to ignore them. I imagine most anons are pretty thick-skinned about it, but plenty of people unfortunately can't help but give them headspace. If so, starting from relative scratch is the next best thing if you otherwise can't cut them out otherwise. Such is the internet.
The other thing that has happened is that they actually do eke out a non-NEET life to the extent that they get more out of offline life than online. If they don't find unbearable and are being sincere, more power to them.

Says a lot about you if 10 years of it not being good isn't a reason to stop browsing.

That doesn't stop people from posting, you know, muck like "kys," "go back to X," etc. Anons are generally thick-skinned enough to just ignore that if they're coming here in the first place, and whatever public shame they receive is anonymous. Moreover, it begs the question of why exactly (You) belong here when he does not. Not that it really matters, but you seem to act like it does.
No matter how much people loathe X or Y group or mentality on the board, posts that convey nothing but a shutdown based on some sense of tribalism are usually even less substantial than whatever they're trying to put down.

I say there is no reason why he doesn't belong here.

Your a meme!

A buffoon who might have Aspergers, who really doesn't do much harm to anyone but is the butt of every joke for his ineptitude and illusions of grandeur.

At least Chris Chan was aggressive and profoundly hateful. This guy is just plainly mocked.

>The irony is staggering, given that you failed at this the moment you decided to pull out your scanlator credentials in an internet slapfight
I actually don't have any scanlator creditionals at all. I just scan. Sorry for misleading you with hypotheticals.
