General curiosity in some topic? I can talk quite a bit about firearms, ammunition etc. yet I never owned a gun, shot altogether maybe 5-8 rounds in my whole life (apart from BB gun).
I like watching youtube channels like Demolition ranch or Iraqveteran8888 for their technical expertise, viewpoints and just fun. Without any real expectation to ever own a gun to expand on this knowledge. Maybe some nice bow one day (which these channels don't even cover).
Don't expect everybody acting rationally all the time, considering cost/benefit against all activities, or similar.
- badpun 7y agoIs somebody who watches people draw in their youtube channels interested in drawing, or in watching people draw? I'd say it's the latter.
- marcus_holmes 7y agoAre the billions of people who watch sportsball even capable of playing whatever variety of sportsball?
- badpun 7y agoThat's my point - they're interested in following others play the sport, not in the sport itself.
- czechdeveloper 7y agoI could not figure out an argument without sounding too confrontational toward you or OP, so sorry :). But if your knowledge can't fulfill your need in same field, what is that knowledge for, or is that even actual knowledge?
- linuxftw 7y agoPeople like to satisfy their curiosity. Think of the average tabloid at a newsstand. It provides some provocative information, but it's the curiosity of the details that drives people to buy them. Is it going to improve their life in any material way? Probably not.
