Subsequent existentialist philosophers retain the emphasis on the individual, but differ, in varying degrees, on how one achieves and what constitutes a fulfilling life

So if Ila wants to call it existentialism, he is existentially correct.
For the rest of us here on the forum this certainly fulfills the distraction part of the paragraph above. That is, we are loaded up with despair, angst, absurdity, alienation, and boredom.
Other than that we probably fit into that other deffinition found in Wikipedia: Idontgivearatsassialism
I do what I can to have a fulfilling life; including web surfing.

note: not typed in Magenta at dauls request.
Is surfing the internet for porn a fulfilling life? It is definitely self indulgent and avoids most of life's restrictions and inhibitions. Having a nice sexual fantasy every morning with a beautiful passionate young lover helps me get through the rest of the day.
Is that what Kierkegaard is taking about?
