Different people have different interpretations of "Fun".

My take on it is that we are all in it for fun, or we wouldn’t be doing it. Being serious about something doesn’t mean you aren’t in it for fun also. The only way I could see you NOT be in it for fun or some side pleasure is if you have a monetary interest in your involvement in cooling. Once you get to the level you need to pay your bills based on a hobby such as this, then I can see it stop being fun rather fast and start being a stressful burden.

The opinion that people who have vast knowledge on this topic don’t post due to most of the people here just are in it for fun is a bit misguided I think.

While some do confuse being serious about the technology for not finding it fun, I think it’s the opposite. People who are serious and driven in this hobby have the most fun of all as they get all the rewards and pleasure from its growth. People who are just here to find which one is the best, don’t find cooling that fun at all, but see it as a burden that they need to get past to move onto other things.

As much as I loathe doing reviews and testing of cooling devices, when I do testing and reviews, seeing the data evolve into a result is very satisfying and fun. Also reading about new designs and technologies is also quite a bit of fun to think through how those new designs and plans would affect cooling results.
