Not sure what the need to be a dick about this it, but I don’t agree that just because they are a “sliver of phone users” doesn’t mean what they’re talking about isn’t still important. It’s good for users to try and think of ways to keep things the least expensive for themselves, while increasing their technical knowledge. I’m seeing a lot of younger people without any basic knowledge of technology who are going to be at the whim of changes made by tech giants because they don’t know how to modify their own systems.

The more people work together and ask questions to try and grow as well as try and share their discontent with design decisions of those tech giants in hope others might take note and stop, the better. It’s a small effort by one person, but it’s more than just throwing up their hands and saying “just get a thumb drive and stop crying”.

Yeah maybe I’m just a soft user but all of my SD cards have held up over the years. Although to your point I try and always get brand name cards.
