A youtuber I follow by the name of NinjaBearHug posted a video about fullset collecting. He has a full Master System and Mega Drive (minus a box) PAL set. Anyways, he talks about when he first got on the internet getting a bunch of flak from other collectors. I think what he says can easily be applied to the video from the original post.
Anyways, I found it interesting. I find a lot of truth in what he says. And I have definitely seen what he mentions. This thread and its original one are full of examples. I suggest watching the video. It's interesting.
Anyways, he says things better than I could.
To summarize what he says: you collect for the joy of collecting, Collecting and gaming are different things. You can get a lot of enjoyment from collecting,
