Pretty much ANYTHING can be considered a hobby, if you do it for recreational purposes... meaning you don't get paid (or at least that isn't your goal), or HAVE to do that activity. So yes, drinking, rugby, and social media can certainly be considered hobbies.

To answer the OP, I'm sure there are tons I don't like! But one thing that comes to mind is working out at the gym. I'm not a lazy bum, and enjoy certain physical activities (like walking or swimming) - I just don't care for the whole gym culture, and generally prefer being outside/in nature when I'm exercising.

While I'm not a user of Instagram or Snapchat, I do use Facebook - and to be fair, many of us have friends and immediate family members who don't live locally. Only my mother and sister (and a few close friends) live near me, while the rest are scattered around the country. For example, my brother lives in Las Vegas, and I love seeing photos of his daughter on Facebook! Sadly, that's the only way I get to see her between our fairly infrequent visits.

Also, most people have privacy settings on their accounts, and are therefore not "broadcasting to the world." But yeah, of course there are some who do this solely for attention! Particularly the selfie-obsessed duckfacers, lol.

The beach, sunbathing, and "laying out by the pool." I enjoy swimming but sitting idly by water roasting in the sun doesn't appeal to me.

Fishing
I can enjoy sitting by a river or lake, being out in nature, but I get my fish already cleaned and packaged at the grocery store.

Shooting big game animals for sport and then displaying their photos, heads or skins as trophies.

Collecting trophies in the form of dead animals is a despicable hobby IMO.

Playing video games. Seems the whole world is doing it.

yes, there are privacy settings... how many people use them?

if you make a post for family, it should be restricted to family members seeing them imo, and not open to rest of the people on friends list, or worst the "public"
same when you share photos with group of friends, share it between the involved people and not anyone else
