Running any decently sized instance quickly turns from a hobby to at least a part-time job. A thing that you can’t just quit whenever is not a hobby and we should be mindful of that.

Yeah, that’s really unfortunate to hear. Gladly I didn’t had any build quality issues so I didn’t even mentioned that side but you are right in that it’s also a pretty important point. Back in the day micro-USB connectors wearing out was a big thing that apple products didn’t suffered from but that’s been solved with type-c. Other than that I’ve been pretty lucky with my phones not falling apart on me.
Samsung A50, the cheapest smart phone I could find 5 years ago and it’s still going strong. I really don’t get the flagship phone craze. I, as I think most people, only use my phone to browse the web, check emails, sometimes watch a youtube video and well, phone people. This little guy has been perfect for that and has no sign of getting slower. The battery still easily gets me through a day with music listening (love the jack btw), web browsing and even some light GPS use.
Not gonna lie, I sometimes miss having a good camera with me, but after buying a half decent DSLR I’m still at or a bit below what a flagship costs nowadays.
When this phone dies a couple years from now I’ll probably just get the new cheapest phone in Samsung’s lineup lol.
The internet as a whole was much better when websites and services were not designed to cater to kids.
