An ancient saying applies here. Mind your own business. It is of no concern to you, whether another considers it a serious business or is merely a hobbyist.

A hobby can become a business and a business can become a hobby.

my life does not depend on what I do in adult, but I do depend on my skills. As it happens, these same skills are beneficial to those in adult and are thus financially beneficial to me.

What does that make me?

I sometimes wish this was just a hobby for me.
Then I wouldn't be stuck working on my pc until my eyeballs feel like they're bleeding. I wouldn't be worrying about which sponsor is going to fold next, and I wouldn't care so much when one of the hosting companies I use fucks up.
But it still pays better than the average job here, so I'll just go get my eyes tested and carry on. At least for now.

I treat my business like a hobby but I treat my hobby like a business.

In both cases: porn.

Big in the escort communities, the guys try to class the whole procedure up by calling themselves "hobbyists" and the hookers "service providers".
