    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

      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.
