I have started working on that article since May 1st, 2020. The article is 35 thousand characters long by now. The original purpose of that article was for me and anyone who knows of the article to be able to share it in online debates regarding this and similar topics (e.g. planned obsolescence) to avoid having to explain it over and over again. The view counter indicates 10316 at the moment.

Another article with a considerable amount of views is “”, which has exactly 1999 views as of typing this. So the first one of you who opens it will be the 2000th viewer! I have also worked on “” and “”

I have chosen EverybodyWiki for my articles because it currently appears to be operated by sane anti-deletionists (they rescue deletion-endangered content from Wikipedia including orphaned draft articles that Wikipedia . Idiotic rule, I know.) and because of that view counter (because I wish to know how many people actually read my work there).

The view count can be seen at the bottom of the page.

Really good entry, congratulations. I was just thinking about the timeline of design features the other day and you put it into an article! 100 percent agree with your sentiments, would like to hear more about "planned flaws" and the time these changes started to occur (you listed 2010's for the batteries which was excellent). For example, in addition to the removal of private batteries, the removal of expandable storage via memory cards. I feel like this whole change in design has been memory holed. I talk to people about this and they look at me like I'm speaking an alien language, says a lot about consumerism.

Side question: How did you discover Poal.co?

Once reddit finally turned into a cuck supercell I was looking for an alternative, initially went to voat but voat went down for like 4 months, so I wound up here. Poal's sort of in a perpetual state of building up to be something great but it can never quite get there, I like it though.

Much appreciated!

Yes, I despised that too. I was absolutely shocked about the Galaxy S6, where Samsung pretty much betrayed their loyal power-user audience.
