I follow the team much more closely now that I can read and discuss the nuances of the game that you just can't get as a casual fan. That's fun, even if the team is in the shitter.
I've gotten to know a handful of people casually, learned a lot of stuff about servers, SQL, and more through my time as an admin, and hell, I got a job here that I kept for more than 5 years.
I think that qualifies as time well spent.
