Amen. You have to stay away from that toxic commercialisation. It messes with your brain and stalls your progress in any hobby.

I think one of the best things about arts, crafts, sports, music and the like is that it has a built in resistance to that kind of commercial takeover. Having good pens will not make you better at art, good shoes won't make you better at soccer, a fancier gym won't give you bigger muscles. These things come from hard work, perseverance, dedication. You can't buy skill no matter goes much money you have, I love that.

    I do like using nice tools though, although they are overkill for most hobbyist purposes.

    I'd probably only buy quality tools if I could afford it, even if I wouldn't need them necessarily.
