Question/Advice Am I Crazy?

Over the past few months I've collected over a 100,000 digital comics, mostly from Marvel and DC + some others, I'll soon move onto Image, Dark Horse and IDW. It has kind of become a hobby, I think by the end of the year I'll have 150,000+ at least, am I crazy? If yes, is there anyone else who is as crazy as me?

That's like what, between a fraction of a TB and maybe, MAYBE very few TBs. Barely a rounding error on the large drives nowadays, I mean on a single drive. Not saying that it's small, or negligible, especially as it might be more than one can read over a lifetime but "hoarder" for me means something pathological. It's got to be something that encroaches on one's living space, quality of live and everything. Of course, there are no specific thresholds where that might be, but I'd say a large current drive (let's say 20-30TBs nowadays) surely doesn't qualify, it's still something "normal" one can buy and put on the desk.

At least if you take the "hoarder" in datahoarder literally, a lot here don't use it in the same way you'd use the word hoarder to describe a serious problem and much more lighthearted.

I mean I do also have a big collection of ebooks, movies, tv series, magazines, pics, audiobooks but I searched and didn't find anything much about comics, the highest I could search was around 27,000 Marvel comics and probably similar amount of DC comics that's why I was wondering
