People who live in gigantic mansions and have all their stuff hidden away or distributed throughout the house are not hoarders. People who live in small(er) spaces and whose stuff is visible, are automatically dubbed hoarders.

Likewise, digital hoarding will never be a thing, because it is invisible.

Also, a person with 10 cats is a "animal hoarder" while a person with 10 kids is a Mormon (or Duggar).
