Why is this on shitpost? I think it's a perfectly valid hobby and it should be celebrated

That depends entirely on how he is acquiring the alarms.

Yeah. I dont get it. It's not my thing but I don't judge if it doesn't hurt anyone.

I haven't seen the video but my first impression (and likely other's) is it's similar to a tik-tok trend where people steal soap dispensers, break sinks, etc.

Having said that, it could just be a little click-baity and maybe he collects old or "retired" fire alarms, which would obviously be fine.

I know several fire alarm enthusiasts. Fire alarms are acquired after being retired, nobody would damage or steal from an active fire alarm system as that's a risk to everyone's safety. People who steal from active systems would be shunned. Most fire alarms enthusiasts get are bought off eBay or similar sites.
