- fsflover 5y agoA lot of hobbies benefit the whole society. I would say most of them do. Hobby means making something. Hobbyists often make something valuable not only to themselves. It also often involves collaborations. Especially in the field of software development.
- cortexio 5y agotrue, some hobby-ists improve society. but how many.. maybe 1 in a million? What about jobs that no one wants to do? Who does those? If so many people get paid by the government, wont that collapse the value of money, making 90% of all people live in poverty? Im not convinced it is a good idea.
