        Interestingly, this list seems to be a close match with trending YouTube content. Perhaps there’s a discussion here about how social media and purpose engineered trends shape our hobbies (and even live purpose ig). Or maybe these topics just get lots of views naturally on account of them being good hobbies. Also, obviously no offense to op and their interests.

          Interesting observation - but I’m not sure if YouTube is the main driver here. Many of the hobbies listed here like photography, gardening, woodworking, knitting, cars etc. were popular hobbies even before anyone even thought about inventing the internet or even television. So it could also be that people are doing YouTube content for already popular hobbies, because people were doing all those things before YouTube.

            Yeah, maybe I was seeing a connection where the was none here. I still think YouTube might popularize and normalize some of our hobbies, but perhaps not that much.
