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.

I had a recipe blog prior to the pandemic. I put well over five grand into it over four years and didn't make a cent.
If I hadn't decided that I hate website with ads and third party cookies on them I probably could have made a few bucks during the pandemic.

Want to share your favorite soup or stew recipe so we all get suckered into your site?

Chicken Pot Pie Soup is one of my personal favs.

Thanks for asking. This prompted me to review some posts and I see I need to update a lot of stuff for consistency (it's a bit of a mess). I hope to get back into this one day, after I finish some other projects.
