How much of a game changer was USB-C for you, compared to other cables? (lemmy.ml)

Not much. There was USB 3.0 even before the USB-C, so bandwidth-wise it's hasn't been a game changer. Over the years I've used a bunch of phones and other devices with Micro USB Type B and I've had one or two cables fail, but not at the connector. In fact the mouse I'm still using has Micro USB for charging and it's been fine.

Edit: I'm not saying it's not good; it is, but I consider it an incremental improvement, not a game changer. A game changer for me would be a standardised interface with a magnetic connector for example.

No more than any other cable.

Reversibility and bandwidth are great. It's just too bad that it's the least robust port ever conceived.
