I’ve seen YT vids and FB posts about them, but I still don’t understand. What are they trying to accomplish?

On a surface level they do the same thing as each other, but there is two kinds of sovereign citizen.
1. They believe or think what they say is true, often have little to no understanding of the legal system or court. often claiming as they never consented to be governed by the US, and that they have additional rights not listed that cannot be violated. Will often misquote legal terms and documents endlessly. It’s like a legal form of the Gish gallop.
2. They are using the tactics of a Sovereign citizen to delay courts or cause a mistrial. Often they are involved in a legal case where the odds are overwhelmingly against them and they are trying to cause a mistrial or to delay the case as long as possible to avoid jail/prison.
