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 disagree, gimmicky toys will turn you away from hobbies you might enjoy, cardboard made me think vr was a trash gimmick, trying a quest made me like it, bought my own, cheaping out made me assume vr was ass so I never bought a rift when I had the hardware to use it
