Unpopular opinion: just because something is hated, doesn't mean it's the truth.

Nah.... there's the other monster known as Fountain pens.... or pens.

Also: Art, doesn't matter what form. Materials in general are expensive, whether it's digital or not. (Tho digital is slightly cheaper long term depending on whether you use a subscription based program or not)

If you take it seriously, it’s ultra expensive. Karting is around 250 - 300k usd a season, and that’s for someone at like four or five years old. F3 or higher goes in tenths of millions.

Came here to say the same thing. There's always something better and unattainable with the watch hobby...

Hobbies are expensive because it’s hard to settle for less when you know there’s better
