Of course, you do. Not only that, you might even decorate your walls with boxes of media and stacks of ammo and cans of powder, just for the esthetic value. I'm just putting it out there that not everyone has the same space and taste as you do. My workspace is way too valuable to keep reloading gear at hand, let alone components, and sure as hell not media.
If it were quick and easy and free and it WORKED, then no it wouldn't be pure folly. It would be nonsense to peel off your sanding blocks and reapply new paper every 3 minutes if you could make your paper new, like magic. Since it DOESN'T work, I agree. Like I said, I buy $150.00 rolls of sandpaper, despite not running a cabinet shop, and having never done any woodwork for a paying customer, and having hardly ever made anything bigger than a breadbox other than shelving and my workbench! Washing media is quick and easy and free, and it WORKS. It is not near as fast as changing your media.... But after you change your media and the brass is a tumbling... well, you can wash your old batch of media in 1/10th the time it takes for your load of brass to be done.
You run one load dirty load through your new media, and it is worse for wear than my years old media, I bet. My brass is clean and shiny in 45 minutes, time after time, and practically dust-free. No black fingers after I'm done loading.
I'm not cheap. I pay someone to do my laundry and do my grocery shopping, lol. I went out for a $100 dinner last night for no special reason other than I was hungry.
