The same happened to Jones when he was putting himself through landscaping work for no real reason, and now to Jdance when he started putting himself through so much "suffering" in an attempt to prove something ethereal and indescribable, chasing the same sort of "authenticity" as playing Path of Exile in Hardcore mode.
