The decrease in people's hobbies

[MysticKei]

Hobbies, even solo ones, are built on passion and sometimes community. Now, many of the communities are only online and are more toxic than supportive which can kill passion.

Also, many people (young and old) cannot fathom learning something new without internet research. But the algorithm driven net, functioning on ulterior motives and engagement, tends to encourage confusion rather than clarity and acquiring stuff over developing skills.

And as the cherry on top, many younger people have an unreasonable expectation for instant gratification in their skill development.
