Why are there still people with cloth masks out there?

Also, I've been looking to upgrade my masks. I'm using a kn95 right now (I think the same kind Obiden is using in the comm banner). People on this comm have talked well of the 3M Aura but I don't like the elastic straps that go over your head; I have long hair. Is there anything you guys use that's more hearty than a kn but you either have it around your ears or (for long term) tie a bow behind your head?

    What’s even crazier is still seeing people with their nose out of their mask. You know it’s not required right? If you don’t want to wear it you can simply not.

      Some people wear it just to hide their face or jawline because it makes them feel more comfortable. Some people have worn it so long it's become a habit, like a security blanket. And my friend who works in retail says he wears it just so he doesn't have to smile

        God just not having to pull that fake rictus grin in retail would sell me on them forever.
