Living in the real world where money has value and one often has to hang on by their nails between paychecks and must view such things as healthcare as a ridiculous frivolity, the idea of throwing away thousands of dollars in order to create a spectacle that very few people will watch – this is totally depraved.
Somewhere out there a child dies from starvation or violence once every fifteen seconds 24/7. I’ve known many of them and have risked my life on multiple occasions to save them, spending a solid five years out there doing everything I could. The price of just one of those phones could have kept a child alive for a year and a half.
I have absolutely no respect for the people who do this.
More than just a few people watch these “spectacles”. For example the channel TechRax, which the article seems to cite most, has almost 4 million subscribers and most of the videos have well over 2 million views. That’s hardly a few people. Based on various estimates this also seems to be a pretty good business model. Destroy a sub $1000 smartphone and get many thousands of dollars in return, which can then be used to buy more stuff to destroy and the cycle continues.
its “definitely” not “definately” ….
