    I agree that they can be a hobby. Like you might speed walk in races or something. But that’s the exception. I believe what OP is trying to say is that some things have been transformed from being human into a skill that people are expected to be good at to participate in. If you’re not good at singing, people don’t want to hear it. If you’re not good at dancing, people don’t want to see it. Etc.

      Oh weird, if I encountered someone doing something without skill, I normally don’t care, unless it was somehow truly offensive. I haven’t even considered that anyone would care enough about such things. Thanks man for the clarity.
