Want to get into mining, mostly as a hobby, but also want to be sure I’m not shooting myself in the foot. Is there any reason I shouldn’t buy an S9k to get started?

Not really looking to make crazy profits off of it, just trying to have some fun, but I also don’t want to be throwing money away. Would it be a bad idea to drop a few hundred on an S9k? Profitability calculators have me breaking even within a year but not sure how accurate those actually end up being. I see everyone on r/bitcoin for example saying mining is a waste of money, but I don’t see how if I’ll break even within a few months. Is there anything I might be missing?
