A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

I think for most people it's just a matter of tradeoffs. You don't have to be interested in the act of doing something in order to be interested in the consequence of doing that thing.
Someone who doesn't like driving may still drive, and concentrate on driving the entire time, to get to a destination where they want to end up. For someone who doesn't like to cook but wants to eat hot food, cooking is a means to that end.
Now, if you're saying that you don't think that tradeoff is worth it to you, maybe that's true of them if they stop to think about it, too. But I'm not sure that's what's going on for most people who continue to work jobs they don't like.
