I'm someone who sticks to skill-based hobbies for months / years.
What keeps me interested in a given hobby for a long period of time is the dopamine hit of the reward at the end, and once I achieve one thing I want to move on to the next.
In a sense, my interests within a hobby change frequently depending on my achievements, but I also know that the kind of achievements available get "better" with time: You can't beat the final boss if you don't beat the first boss !
So that's a thing huh?
