I was watching a stream the other day where someone was just casually restoring old fossils as a hobby no fancy setup, just a camera and a lot of patience. Next thing you know, they’ve got sponsorships from science museums and a legit side gig. It got me thinking: what’s the weirdest or most unexpected success story you’ve come across that started with someone streaming their niche hobby? Whether it’s blacksmithing, competitive spreadsheet racing, or something even more off-the-wall, I’d love to hear about it. Bonus points if it’s something you never would’ve guessed could go big!
there’s this guy who streamed himself folding origami for like 2 years straight and now he’s got a collab with some fancy paper company. Wild.
