    They all realized a $100 phone does the same shit as a $1500 phone… There is nothing they add to the expensive phones that justify the price

      Hell, with all of the features that are being removed these days, there’s no justification for the price.

      Now that LG is out of the market, I had to get a Nokia smartphone just to get an external microSD card slot and aux port.

      $1000+ phone with capped internal memory for the purpose of pushing subscription cloud storage? Or a $300 phone with expandable physical storage?

      It’s more about wanting to take a break from looking at a screen and watching shitty ads for so many hours per day.

        People need to (re)discover adblockers and alternative apps.

        • Firefox+uBlock Origin takes care of nearly all ads on the web.
        • NewPipe Lets you watch YouTube without ads (and lets you download videos).
        • Pixelfed is like insta without the ads (or people, lets be honest, but you gotta be the change you want to see)
        • Mastodon is twitter without ads
        • Lemmy reddit without ads

        We have the tools and technology, its just a matter of people making the move, but that’s hard because of the network effect.
