    Interesting observation - but I’m not sure if YouTube is the main driver here. Many of the hobbies listed here like photography, gardening, woodworking, knitting, cars etc. were popular hobbies even before anyone even thought about inventing the internet or even television. So it could also be that people are doing YouTube content for already popular hobbies, because people were doing all those things before YouTube.

      Yeah, maybe I was seeing a connection where the was none here. I still think YouTube might popularize and normalize some of our hobbies, but perhaps not that much.
