Others provided already some good replies, but whenever one posts such a question, one can apply the question to this very forum.

What's the point of following a forum about calculator? If you try to ask a random person on the internet (say FB) "what do you think about someone spending his free time on a calculator forum?" people will smile in the best case and laugh in the worst.
(I find this forum pretty interesting, but it is surely out of the mainstream radar regarding "interesting things")

Therefore of all places it is surprising to get such questions in this forum, as this very forum is for people that have fun (or extract values from) doing some very niche activities compared to the general population.
