It's a pretty obsolete hobby, as we have computers and printers that can do the exact same thing in a fraction of the time. I know people do it as an art form, which is fine I guess, though you're not gonna sell prints, get published, or end up in a museum no matter how good you are at it.
Not really the point of a hobby to be better than computers or make money with it.
Imagine thinking a hobby needed to be useful.
Is it really a hobby if it’s not profitable? /s
You do hobbies for fun, not making money, that's a job.
Yes, also painters are obsolete, because AI permits even Cletus to be an artist
Someone is definitely making a buck with all those calligraphy books and supplies.
Do you measure all your hobbies with possibility of making money? I mean, that is not a hobby, that's work then.
Same reason I don't exercise: I'm never going to make money with my running skills.
Hobbies don't become obsolete dummy
But obsolete jobs do become hobbies.
The money in calligraphy is usually made on wedding invitations, diplomas, "fine fining" menus, and corporate award certificates
