    I will occasionally think about various topics "I'm really into <thing> but is anyone else in to <thing>??"

    And then I read a quote like the above and I realize that, for lack of a better phrase, "it's a big world out there" and people have many varied interests.

    Plus, if folks are REALLY into <thing> then they want different perspectives about <thing> even if it's a sub-topic that has been covered before.

    In other words, write blog posts and make videos. Someone will consume that content and you never know where that leads.

      As someone who is also into <thing> but maybe not other <thing>, it's really great to sometimes delve into the deep world of <thing> for an hour or so to broaden ones perspective and get a general feel for what other people choose to spend their consciousness budget on.

      Definitely one of the better sides of the information age is how easy this is now.
