I suspect most people have one or more hobbies. Not everything has to be about money.
It is incredibly sad how so many people these days are unwilling to just have a hobby. Not a way to make money, not a way to advance your career, not a scam, just a thing you do that you enjoy and get better at over time.
tl;dr - personal hobbies are good.
Why can't you just enjoy a hobby? Why do you feel the urge to extract productivity gains from something fun.
surely you have a hobby that doesn't have a return on investment? that's all it is, enjoying an activity
If it had a reason it wouldn't be a hobby.
Most hobbies are fake accomplishments, some things are just about joy. It's always about moderation
Think of it as as a hobby. Hobbies are good.
It does not have to make money for people to do it as a hobby. Not everything people do is because of money.
Those aren't hobbies. I'm not saying don't enjoy what you do. But if you want good money you're going to have to consider its value to others.
