What is your "inexpensive" hobby that turned out to be expensive/ you gradually invested lots of money into? (sopuli.xyz)

Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

What can you possibly need more than 100TB of storage for?! Presumably some redundancy but still way more than I can imagine a personal need for.

I have 65 TB of movies and shows for a Plex server. That is what the 5x 18tb drives are for. I download primarily REMUXes or highest quality available.

The other drives are for backing up photos, my server, and anything important.
