Imo, one of the most damning aspects of capitalism is that it encourages people to have consumptive hobbies over creative ones.
It actively seeks to bar people from doing things like cooking, or writing, or making pottery, or anything else of that nature. Activities in which you are making something
Things like that are made either too expensive (in terms of money, or time, or both) or framed as something not worth wasting time on, because you can't support yourself doing art/writing/etc
@Dayglochainsaw I have a server at my house, I pay about $150 a month for two more in FL, and I've not made a single penny on anything running up there. My main project with which I'm involved is all open source. Sure, we accept donations, but we don't require nor force them. We love doing what we do because we love doing it.
