Threads for Fairphone often fill up with "it's not going to work if they don't X." Lots of people don't seem to understand that their personal viewpoint can be quite different from other's.
There are people who are aware of the trade-offs of a Fairphone, but still choose to get one.
I've always been in favour of a phone with a shitty camera. I don't give a fuck about posting on social media, and these days a huge chunk of a phone's price is determined by how powerful of a camera they were able to cram into it.
I recognize that this apparently sounds insane to most people.
I don't post on social media either, but my phone have replaced the compact camera that I used to pack for family vacations.
I suspect that's what most people use their phone camera phone: to take personal photos that will only be shared with family members.
