does the phone battery complaining occur because goons don't go outside and thus their phones are constantly plugged in and 100% charged and they're horrified that people use them outside where they can't charge them?

I too am completely bewildered as to the cacophony of CHAERGE UR PHON posts which seem to start with charge bars as "low" as 65%. Can anyone explain to me how you are SUPPOSED to use your phone in a way that keeps it fully charged always?

I always let my phone go to 5-15% over a day and then charge it over night. If I REALLY have to use it a lot, I plug it in below 40% and when I have an opportunity. Sometimes things don't work out and I can't use my phone for an hour, whatever. Isn't it bad for the battery to be charging all the time? Isn't technology for most people's phones at the point where 20% charge means another 3h of texting, messaging etc. and 6h of standby? What are you DOING with your phone to get paranoid every time it dips close to 50%? I only ever have charge eaten noticeably if I play Pokemon Go for a solid hour or some game on a long train ride. So things that are decidedly non-essential. Or ARE they to the Sperglords complaining?

That is valid I guess - I'm a Chemistry researcher so I only need my phone to not die of boredom while an experiment is running. But surely not everyone literally needs their phone always? Hell, couldn't you have it at 20% with one hour left on your workday and not have to worry?

I chose this time to express my honest confusing because I've seen dozens of CHARG FON posts without a single goon expressing annoyance, as if everyone thought "thank this guy for saying it so I don't have to", as if a fully-charged phone is an obvious necessity and complaining about how low it's on a random screenshot is self-evident. Is this a meme? Am I out of touch? Am I also the only one who sincerely doesn't care about portrait mode videos as long as you can see everything necessary?

Yupp. Long ago batteries needed to be drained as much as possible or the space that wasn't used would crystallize and then not be usable at all.

So if you charged your phone at about 30% every single day then after a year or so then "100%" would in fact be in the 31-100% of the original battery space. Powertools worked the same. Likewise draining a battery to absolute zero could cause a polarity shift and break it completely. This was pretty hard to do though because batteries always have some charge. It was more common if you for example drained a device to low and then left it unused for a few weeks.
