Haha I think about mobdrops often. I frequently want to make it an opinion source but I just never quite get round to it (despite having written on on mobbs just yesterday).
You're totally WRITE in saying righting needs multiple reasons, and you and I seem to share the same; money, sure. But the pursuit of knowledge is also a big one and that's something I can get really excited about. Especially because I have so few people IRL I can share things I learn without boring them.
This is a great escape of nerdery for me!
(I also need to learn programming)
