YouTube has a massive amount of edutainment content that is absolutely fantastic. Content that could never make it onto mainstream television.

At this point I think I owe all my hobbies to YouTube.

And why do you need all these hobbies?
Because hobbies are fun.
Hedonism, got it.
Spoiling for some trolling, are you?

Having a hobby is not hedonism. There is more to life than just working for someone else.

Oh, there absolutely is. But most hobbies people seem to have are just pointless and waste time.
hobby /ˈhäbē/

    1. an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure.
If you enjoy the activity then it is neither pointless nor a waste of time since the primary purpose is enjoyment. If you don't enjoy it, it's not a hobby.

No doubt these posts could be your hobby; you do it for pleasure but it's otherwise just a pointless waste of time.

Why does this matter?
I'm curious. It matters to me.
