If the phone is too far from your face, they can't hear you as well. You don't have to talk as loud to be heard when on speaker phone. Besides, I have a hard time hearing when I don't use it, and I can clearly hear them when it's on and near my face. They hear me better and I hear them better; definitely an advantage.
This is literal insanity
Part of what got me started was a bad microphone on my phone, but I realized it had advantages when you're alone. Honestly, talking on the phone in public at all isn't great. Everyone can hear your side of the conversation, and while it's much better than eating pizza, people ought to avoid calls in public whenever possible. Whenever I'm around others, I keep the calls short, and when I'm alone and do take longer calls, I eat that pizza. Judge pizza eaters when you see them, but don't feel shame for doing it when alone. While you're at it, don't let people having loud, vibrant phone conversations off the hook.
