I don't understand why everyone hates the notch, or especially the hole punch camera now. You could just disable the pixels next to the notch going back to a regular screen, and if you don't it's only extra screen space. Even more so with the hole punch. Why more screen bad?

Because front camera is not just a feature I'm forced to pay for, despite never using it once in my life, but now it also makes my experience shittier by adding a hole in my screen. I hate that.

Right, the old way was have a bunch of dead space at each end of the phone (and sides too). This isn't the loss of where the hole now is, this is the addition of screen around the hole that always was.

I thought it was weird at first. Now I don't even notice it.

I paid for an X size screen. I shouldn't have to disable a chunk of it to watch a video without a hole in it. /s

Realistically, while I'd rather not have a hole punch, I don't notice it and better than a giant top bezel that does nothinh. I just wish they still made phones small enough for one hand use.

It's not like they can rid of the hardware that is inside of the notch. So either get more potential screen space, or just disable it and get the same as always. You're not losing anything.
