Anonymous does have valid points. The devices and internet all released with the governments blessing, for tracking and spying.

Damn good summary. Even more BS than I complain about on a weekly basis.

ruined privacy
Ruined that too
Yes, the option to just throw it in the corner and not charge it anymore.
Or to uninstall all your shitty apps.
ITT awful fucking reasons for "smartphone good". Fuck smartphones.
Yep. Ignore your downvotes. They're just zoomers with Stockholm syndrome.
A standalone camera would be a better camera. A standalone media player would be a better media player. Emulation handhelds are better gaming systems.
Paper-weights don't even have batteries. Checkmate, phones.
Phones are useless for anything but making sure you're abiding by your state-mandated privatized surveillance of choice and if I could carry around a tiny Linux laptop with cellular integration and use it instead, I probably would.
I get not everyone can use Linux, but I feel that's a misunderstood problem in that, it isn't my problem that you can't do something.

Well this is the cold hotdog water of hot takes. Ill guess anon wasn't alive before smart phones.
How does everyone everywhere having a really decent camera ruin photography? One of the things we had to do in photography class was use a disposable to take well composed shots (but also we developed the film ourselves). A phone camera would make those look way better.
Photographic art is drowned in a world of snapshots. That which we obtain too cheaply we esteem too lightly. Of course, there are a lot of awesome upsides and people can still do photography as a hobby, but there's a real "you can't go home again" feeling. You probably would have had to been into the hobby prior to the smartphone to appreciate the loss.

The gaming sectors always makes me hurt the most man.
It has taken over conventions too so there is little a way to avoid it entirely.
