Yeah i agree.
One potential counterpoint that is a little interesting to me is that coin and stamp collectors seem to be considered hobbyists. Maybe it’s because the consumerism aspect isn’t quite the same or quite as there as it is with more conventional things like buying clothing, shoes, watches, jewelry, etc.
Is buying and collecting vintage toya or clothing or antiques a hobby? Seems people on this thread feel that spending a little bit of money on a hobby is ok, but spending too much makes it consumerism. That comes across as reverse snobbery.
Personally, I don’t have a hard stance on it, but I wouldn’t call it a hobby for myself
Do people still do that?
