Suggesting a much cheaper alternative that has some benefits isn't degrading anyone.

I didn't say degrading, that wouldn't even work grammatically. I said denigrating, "to criticise unfairly, disparage".

Learn something. And stop putting other people's ideas down.

If you'd stopped at telling others what you're doing. But no, you must feel righteous in criticising their choices of device, why they use it, and how much they spend on them.

People don't owe you explanations for any of that.
