Why Do All Internet Hobbies Look the Same?

You may have noticed something strange about internet hobbies. Whether it's knitting, cosy colouring, or the latest craft trend, suddenly it feels like everyone is making the exact same thing. The same cardigan pattern. The same colouring books. The same markers. The same tools.

Is it social media? Algorithms? Human psychology? Probably all of the above. But more importantly: does it actually matter? Because at the end of the day, hobbies are supposed to be fun — whether you're knitting the latest PetiteKnit cardigan or colouring a very cosy koala on a bus. So let's talk about why internet hobbies have become so weirdly specific.
