Meaning
This reads as a criticism of public visibility without enough behind-the-scenes effort. It suggests that being seen often is not the same as doing difficult, less glamorous work, and it can be taken to mean that image has replaced substance. It lands in political talk, where a candidate may be judged not by exposure but by visible labor, preparation, and results.
