Generally I'd pay a little more for almost everything, unless I'm absolutely sure the cheap thing I'm about to buy has been a staple in the community and got recommended a tons. I found midrange priced stuff to be the sweet spot that give you a lot more quality and longevity compared to the cheap stuff, while not landing on the other end of diminishing return and overpay for something that's overkill for my needs.

The thing is, the website you listed have direct alternatives. Right now with the current format Reddit is the only big player so moving away from it will be very hard. Tumblr user migrated to Twitter, and we haven't seen the same thing happened to Lemmy at that scale yet.
I switch from a Pixel 3 to a S23 and it's really nice. The new Snapdragon 8 gen 2 is solid, with great battery life and doesn't heat up even when doing intensive task. I also change almost all the stock app to Google's so it's basically just like using a Pixel now, abet with some restriction (no google recorder app because that's pixel exclusive lol).
I was worried about "Samsung bloat" too but I have to say the new OneUI is rather nice.
