I often ignore mathematics that is not completely useful to me these days lol. I get the appeal of learning neat theories and feeling like you got it all figured out, but I'd rather limit my studies to topics that are likely to bear fruit in my life. Complication and abstraction does not necessarily deter me, but it has been my observation that overly complicated or abstract ideas rarely pay off in my endeavors.
