In Part 4 of episode 275 the discussion with Evan Parker Mantel continues discussing the role of technology in the hobby—and how his team is approaching AI. From there, the conversation expands into a broader panel discussion with Chris McGill (HOJ), Josh Adams, and Jeremy Lee around hobby fatigue, content pressure, and the emotional toll of always trying to “keep up.”

The group unpacks what causes collectors and creators to lose their drive, how algorithms distort authenticity, and why creating with intention matters more than ever. It’s a candid and thoughtful look at the intersection of technology, content, and the human side of collecting.
