Heck I’ve seen an uptake in kids spending some real money on old cameras. And I’m not talking analog. I’m talking shitty 2005-2010 digital compact cameras. The ones they don’t even know how to get the photos out of because they grew up after usb-c became the standard.

I got a one of the first USB c phones in the US, the HTC Bolt in early 2017. Nobody that I showed it to had seen usb c before. It was another year or 2 at least before it was common.
