       @Flanker Don't forget about the other option. I take photos for free on my quite expensive camera, because I can. My job payed for it, and I love it...But, the rage I get from photographers who want this to remain their exclusive space is wild 🤣

       I don't care about boomers anymore. Strip their social security and jam them in the suicide booth. They're literally not happy unless modern young people are going through the hell they lie about going through

       @Flanker And to the real core, this was obviously written by a person who has no conceptualization of the fact, that every single road, building, event, or technology was at one point someone's passion project.

       @Flanker you can tell no one here is reading the article.>This desire to optimize is fueled by metrics and digital record-keeping. Letterboxd (for movies you’ve watched), Goodreads (books you’ve read), Backloggd (video games you’ve played) and Beli (restaurants you’ve visited) are just a few of many popular apps to track hobbies. “As soon as you put a metric to something, people want to maximize that metric, even if the metric is nonsensical or not real,” Inzlicht says.>But these extrinsic measures also reduce the pleasure we derive from leisure over time. In other words, “it feels like a job,” Inzlicht says. By putting numbers to hobbies or posting about them online, “you’re making it an obligation to yourself and, ultimately, it will undermine your performance,” he continues. As Alfie Kohn argued in “Punished by Rewards,” praise causes people to lose interest in the task itself, turning play into work.>Yum is conflicted by the performativity of hobbymaxxing. “If you didn’t post about your book, did you even read it?” she jokes. “Actually engaging in hobbies, or reading outside of your phone or computer, is becoming a status symbol,” she adds. “You’re intellectually rigorous and different from the Gen Z stereotype. It makes you appear to be more ambitious and smart.”the article is arguing that hobbies are being turned into metrics and performative posts for social media. that is objectively true especially on places like tiktok.
