depends on the hobby, for a lot of software stuff having good hardware can be a strong motivator or needed for progress, and a lot of hobbies have no cheap entrypoint, like drones are very expensive im avoiding that
I think you are wrong. You can buy very cheap drones, I bought one about a decade ago for about 50 dollars. Now the nice ones with GPS and cameras and fpv capabilities yes they are expensive. But that’s the point… Buy the cheap one, if you enjoy flying it next month enough to justify spending that to get a fancy one consider it.
For today buy the 50 dollar one, the regret will be alot less than the 2000 dollar one…
when ppl talk about drones as a hobby its the ones you build and race or do tricks with that will 100% break and need to be replaced, or photography ones which are also expensive, anything cheap is a toy for beginners or ppl just testing waters
Exactly… Buy the beginner one, later if you still like it buy the expensive one. If you move to lawn mowers you only spent the cost of the beginner one

I spent a good amount of time researching reddit recentlly, def not that cheap to get into and the costs dont go away
Correct, but the whole point is to buy cheap and only buy the expensive / fancy stuff if you still like it later and find it’s worth the expense.

last I looked into it actual fun fpv drones arent cheap, I dont see, transmitter alone over 50$?
Completely true… I’m not saying they are that cheap. I’m saying bare minimum basic drone with no camera just ability to hover
