I lean toward "efficient entertainment", but I do sometimes wonder what that chunk of my free time would look like otherwise.
And the target demographic of rowdy young men would be challenging each other to gun duels instead of FIFA matches or games of COD.
Which is okay. Focusing on a happy life is imho better than to strive for becoming an efficient worker in some way or another. There is a lot more to life than this.
It's not an issue, since we have 10x more such guys than in 1820.
And I'll watch every one
In the 1820s, you'd be watching beetle documentaries, you waste of space
Please, I need these YouTubers for things like the "Coin Collector" subset of achievements in Super Mario Sunshine, you really have to get every single one!
If you really look through history, I think you'll find that people did things like this because they were SO BORED. An entire town would come out to watch a small time trial because there just wasn't anything better to do. Hell, my parents who grew up in the 70's once told me "We'd be outside and bicycle around as kids all the time, after a while.. we were so incredibly bored." And during that time, tv and radio existed. I'm very happy we have the entertainment we do.
90% of them were so bored
the remaining 10% however
If people didn't have weird obsessions, then sciences like geology probably wouldn't exist.
There is currently a 20yo in Germany, working tirelessly to document every beetle in their province.
The world is large and diverse. Its fine.
