Comment on Wireless charging is the dumbest invention ever created

When wireless charging was announced, every layperson out there started imagining their homes filled with powerful waves of harmless energy that would keep their devices charged and eliminate the need for all wires. People thought we could have LED bulbs that pull volts out of the air and provide light for your dining room.
Wireless charging is slightly more convenient than plugging your phone in to a usb c. But it’s also slower. I have a wireless charger next to a wired charger, and 90% of the time I plug in because it’s faster, and I can still use my phone while it charges.

I like wireless charging simply because of the stress that charging ports undergo tends to cause them to fail. That alone was enough for me to primarily stick with wireless.
But I also don't use my phone a lot at home. Generally if my phone is charging, I have access to my desktop PC and prefer to use that for watching videos or browsing news.
