Involution, an online buzzword, originally refers to a phenomenon that a cultural pattern cannot be stabilized or transformed into a new form after reaching a certain final form, and can only become more complicated internally. Through the Internet, many college students use it to refer to irrational internal competition or "voluntary" competition. Now it refers to the phenomenon that peers compete for limited resources and make more efforts, which leads to the decline of personal "income-effort ratio", which can be regarded as "inflation" of efforts.
