The average American now holds onto their smartphone for 29 months, according to a recent survey by Reviews.org, and that cycle is getting longer. The average was around 22 months in 2016.

While squeezing as much life out of your device as possible may save money in the short run, especially amid widespread fears about the strength of the consumer and job market, it might cost the economy in the long run, especially when device hoarding occurs at the level of corporations.

              Not a problem, I have zero interest in dealing with beehaw again if your mods are allowed to instigate fights, then hide behind the rules after their feelings get hurt.

              If you’re not going to let people talk shit, fine. But if your own mods are going to get their comments removed too, maybe they shouldn’t be mods. This is the exact type of behavior people hate about reddit.

          I don’t respect your authority as a mod any more than I respect your authority as an editor. Just because you have a title doesn’t mean you’re right or just.

            Sadly, for you, it does, in fact, give me authority, regardless of your opinion on the subject. You don’t seem a particularly enjoyable individual. Perhaps look into why that is before lashing out at others.
