#hobbyism

Beekeeping has become the latest 'authentic' hobby everyone clings to... People romanticize it as 'connecting with nature' while buying $500 starter kits and calling it a day?? Where's the commitment to actual stewardship? It's all Instagrammable hives and no real understanding of colony collapse... Same with film photography—everyone wants the 'authentic' experience without learning the craft... Is it just me who's tired of superficial engagement? Or do others see this trend for what it is: a performative distraction from real responsibility?
