They both aren't. Hobbies are things like rock climbing, playing an instrument, ect. Not just sitting on your ass and staring at a screen like a jackass.

hobby
noun

an activity done regularly in one's leisure time for pleasure.

There are obviously hobbies more beneficial than others, like learning a new language, but by definition its anything you enjoy doing. Stamp collecting is a hobby.

I've noticed it's more of a female thing. I'm a literal normie when it comes to social interactions and I go on a lot of dates as well as constantly browse online dating sites and the two constants with women online is:
a. their "hobby" includes watching Netflix
b. they have a picture of them in front of the Eiffel tower

They're also mostly damaged, crazy, have kids and wildly privileged into thinking they should only date men that are vastly out of their league because of all the messages they receive.

If your hobby is watching TV series and movies you say just that, not the name of a fucking streaming service. It's like saying "i watch crunchyroll" instead of saying "i watch anime"

netflix has such trash selection i can't imagine how someone could feel satisfied with it as their prime source of media.

>my hobby is wasting away in front of a screen, wondering if the future holds something in store for me while I do nothing to improve myself

This. I have a college degree but work at a grocery store. I have to actually be there in a few hours for truck we get at 4:30 am. I do just enough to make it seem like I'm trying in terms of "bettering myself" by looking for jobs and taking care of my looks and all that, but in the end I'd rather just get on /v/ and sleep all day.

I do play guitar so at least that's something.

>>378201550
literally anything. i used to subscribe to netflix for getting mailed dvds and that was great since they had practically every movie available. i'd rather deal with the wait and watch literally anything than stream whatever shitty movies netflix managed to get a cheap licensing deal for. all their original series have been mediocre compared to the greats of network television.

i just torrent shit and watch documentaries on youtube these days.

>>378201792
So browsing /v/ is a hobby? If so you're a massive disappointment to yourself and anyone associated with you. Just because you enjoy doing something faggy in your downtime doesn't make you a special snowflake. Hobbies have purpose. Working out and reading are hobbies, but vidya isn't but I'll even give you that. However, your argument is anything you do when youre not wagecucking is a hobby. Hmm, let me just stand in this corner. I mean, I'm not working and it's my free time so I guess its a hobby now!

So, again, standing in a corner, if done enough, is a hobby? I mean, sure, by your gay little definition it is, but try to live in reality for a sec and think about what you're saying. If you told people your hobby included going to a park to watch joggers they'd immediately think you're some kind of creep. Hobbies aren't meant to make others think you're a weirdo.

>>378202302
You'd just say I enjoy spending time out in nature. If you stood in a corner you'd just say you enjoy meditating.

With 4chan gaining very considerable traffic in recent years, the influx of new people will be inevitable and whilst you do get many young people who love vidya there are bitter folk who come here purely to shitpost and may or may not play much vidya at all, this is of course the more attractive option to /b/ because /b/ has certain rules that encourage spontaneous posts and no archiving or history of any sort, while /v/ is high traffic but with very little of those same encouragements. This combined with the fairly laissez-faire policy of shitposting the mods and Hiroyuki have makes these kinds of posts and people all too common. I think that about covers it, but I may have missed a thing or two.

Literally anything that uses up time and does not pay a wage is a hobby. Shitting in the toilet can be considered a hobby. If you gonna spurge out about how other people spend their time, perhaps you need to rethink your priorities.

>>378202578
If you devote enough time to those things, sure, they're hobbies. They are pretty pointless hobbies, regarding how you word them, but hobbies regardless.

People watching can be a valuable hobby for a writer, meditation for someone who works in a high stress environment, etc, but a hobby isn't really properly described just by what you do, but also what you get out of it. In the case of "standing in a corner," is it meditation or out of boredom? If it bores you, you aren't really doing anything besides wasting time (finding ways to waste time can be a hobby). You'll probably get some weird looks for saying that's how you value your leisure time, but if it's that's what you derive from it then that's that.

Literally nobody says this.
