minus-squareEczpurt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7arrow-down1·3 months ago“Expensive chinesium” and “cheap for a reason” doesn’t add up. I feel like if the product was that bad or unreliable it simply wouldn’t sell the way it has been. Sure cost plays a part but if it’s cheap enough to be a buying factor, odds are it’s cheap enough to buy outright or have it paid off early.
