I'm curious: if hoarding doesn't spark joy for you... why do it?
If hoarding brings you joy, I encourage you to keep doing it. Heck, I encourage you to take hoarding to the next level if that makes you happy. But if it doesn't bring you joy or peace, what's the point?
As someone who has gone through a full KonMari festival, I know it's a major time and energy suck (in the short term) and I only recommend it when someone can handle that intensity. If someone isn't prepared to deal with the feelings which come up when one sorts through personal possessions, that makes sense. (And some people are never prepared... so I actually agree that the KonMari method isn't for everyone).
BTW, Marie Kondo recommends keeping the emphasis on the things which spark joy, not obsessing over discards. Discarding things you no longer want is a means to have more space for the things you want, it's not the end goal. This is one of the most common ways people miss the point of Marie Kondo's books.
