No less pointless than so, so many things people do especially in their spare time.
Like, speedrunning might be a similar waste of time that a ton of people seem to be into just for the challenge.
Or, what about just watching TV? Sitcoms and whatnot. People do that for hundreds and hundreds of hours. Or watching cat videos.
At least these guys were challenging themselves.
