So spending full-time hours on your hobby equates to unintentional media companies? If I spent that much time working on a show, i dont think i would consider my efforts as unintentional in regards to being/becoming a so-called "media company". A company is just some paperwork. On the other hand, the average person consumes more than 40 hours of TV and other media per week. So to take that time to produce instead of only consume.... that's a good start. The perfect storm is when their is an audience lined up with your passions that is large enough to give you a useful income without burning yourself out.
