What past times or interests did you have before they went mainstream and did the mainstream ruin your hobby?

There was a time when anime was niche and now 50% of the global audience watches it.

There's a ton of folks who just jump on the bandwagon because something is popular.

I miss the days when the internet wasn't as centralised.
