You missed out last year's poll, had one or two questions about this exact topic.
McRoll was my intro to Touhou in 2008, was interested in the music so I decided to dig a little deeper. Haven't looked back after going down that rabbit hole. While I don't play as much as I used to, I still go for (normal) 1ccs on every new mainline game as they come out. What's really kept me going this entire time however is the music, easily. Still look forward to releases from my favorite circles, and enjoy shifting through small, less known groups as well. The music's been there through some of the worst and best times of my life so far. There's so much out there I'll probably never listen to it all, which is a little sad to think about. I enjoy fan content of all sorts, but people putting their arranges out in the wild catches my attention.
A couple of people mentioning burnout makes me question whether I'm mentally well or not, but I've yet to reach that point, I think. Perhaps with all the big-name circles dissolving within the next few years, I'll put an end to that phase of my life, but it may as well make me dig deeper for more arrangers. Or even start making music myself, but that's wishful thinking. All in all, I really enjoy both the official and fan sections of Touhou, and plan to continue doing so for a while.
