Creativity > Efficiency

Several months back, I bought a plush figure of Zedaph. People buy plushies all the time to support or remember their favorite entertainment providers on YouTube, but this one has a greater meaning to me.

Zedaph is a Minecraft content creator (which is how I was introduced to his style of content) but he isn’t at all like your average Minecrafter.
Your average mincraft content creator explores massive areas, collects resources excessively, and builds extraordinarily large projects and over-efficient farms.
Zedaph makes the wackiest contraptions anyone can think up, and completes the most obscure challenges in the game. He doesn’t focus on “grinding” (that is, making massive amounts of satisfying progress) but rather, having fun. He collects what he needs for his contraptions and challenges, but then enjoys completing the creative challenges instead of getting all the “best gear” and making the best farms.

The Zedaph plush to me represents creativity over efficiency, and that having the best things isn’t always the most enjoyable. Sometimes you just have to be a bit wacky to have a good time.
