Don't you find it interesting that by far the most popular
entertainment activity (watching TV) places very little in the way
of demands on participants. In addition, by far the most popular
online games (solitaire, hearts, etc.) also seem to not be
particularly demanding of the player.
Are "interesting" activities inherently unpopular?
