So I just realized that I'm coming up on 900 hours (870 Right now) of beat saber since about march 2019 after finding a picture of myself before and comparing to now. not only is it fun (duh) Beat saber changed my life in the a variety of ways:

1) No more back pain from car accidents due to strong back muscles
2) Started me streaming and making videos for twitch / YouTube, over 1300 hours so far and 3K follows. This in turn led me to meet very special people in my life.
3) lost 30 pounds, hit my target weight a long time ago and changed my physical appearance dramatically
4) gave me a sense of community through the other streamers and players I've met along the way.
5) provided the best outlet during tragic times for me
6) As my skill has grown, I've felt more confident because of it. Sure it's a game but to have stuck with something physical for that long is impressive and showed me I like to be active (previously sedentary lifestyle)

I built a reputation as an endurance saber slasher averaging anywhere from 8 to 16 hours of beat saber played in a stream multiple times a week. Even at the time of writing this I just finished another 8 hours of content creation and map/mods showcasing. Sufficed to say this moderately simple game not only had a major impact on my life, it changed it in ways that are so unexpected even typing it out sounds unbelievable, but it is. I'm very active on twitch, discord and the beat saber / gaming community now and recently started looking for ways I can assist or get more involved.

So, is the game good? - yup.
Should you buy it? - yup
Is it worth it? - The mileage you get out of it is up to you. For me, it was a ticket to most of the important things in my life.

-Update-

2.5k hours of practice as of 3/16/2021. Mastered dual wielding maul staves with 4 sabers, 5 colors and arrows on all expert+ maps. Check my video content and youtube to see just how crazy and unique the stream has become. Thank you everyone for all the awards, we both hope to chat with you all sometime <3

I cannot believe someone can play that much of BS, but also I see your point

People fail to realise that grinding same five maps for pp really drains the fun out of the game. Good for you for keeping it real!

Something like that. At the moment I'm using 4 sabers with 5 colors, grievous style with arrows, expert+. going over VOD's and it's legit bananas :)
