This seems like an allusion to how people tend to be more content if there's someone on a lower social rung or in a worse state than them. A common strategy amongst governments to keep the majority screwed but content cause there's a smaller group thats even more screwed.

That's a good interpretation, and there is also the theme of those "peeping at" and those "being peeped at". I think there were several intentional allusions to Kobo Abe's The Box Man here.
