The thing is, to put oneself in a position where they're able to get $100/hr takes a lot of early sacrifice. So it's a false equivalence to say they'd be happy to work for 100/hr rather than 11 - but because 100 isn't offered straight away, purely leisure becomes a reasonable choice. Regardless of how the media portrays it, I'd say it is a rather tragic situation for an able person to live in such a way, only through the support of others.
