If I want to do my hobby, I need to make time for it, whereas if I want to watch videos about my hobby, I can do it on the toilet. It turns out it's a lot easier to watch than make time for a hobby, hence why I do more of it.

If I didn't have to work, I'd spend more time doing my hobby. But I do, and I have kids, so hobby time is quite limited.
