now i'm not saying that i don't like making money, we all like making money and we can't lie, money makes the world go round after all. but what really irritates me about money is that it can transform your favourite hobby into a buisness, what i mean by this is that when money gets involved, everyone try's to exploit it as much as possible turning their every day hobbies into a buisness.
now what people don't realize is by doing this their interests slowly degrade until it becomes a tedius job. people don't realize this but they are sacrificing doing something they love in order to make money out of it, of course this doesn't count for everyone out there but i believe that making your hobby into a job is a stupid idea, it's kind of like marrying a cousin, and i know people do that but still thats what it is and it's not wrong to do that and i won't disclose my opinion on it. my point is that in my opinion, if you turn your hobby into a job you are taking something you value and turning it into a chore and you forget what truely matters.
sometimes real money isn't even involved, look at world of warcraft for example, people are turning something they enjoy into a job and are paid in virtual gear and money.
and yet even that is tied to money as blizzard is manipulating players to play for long periods of time so they continue their subscription.
my point is that everything revolves around money, these days more than ever.
this is just what i believe but i think money has changed peoples interests alot and often for the worst, i'm not going to ask you to agree with me, i just want you to tell me what you think about this, if you're one of the people who's job is a hobby, tell us what you think about this and if you agree or disagree.
sorry it seems like a pointless thread but i just want to see what people think about this viewpoint.
