Question about those expensive air fryer liners - worth it or waste?

I bought a 50-pack of those parchment paper liners for my air fryer for $12 on Amazon. On one hand they catch all the grease and cleanup takes 10 seconds, but on the other hand I feel like the air doesn't circulate as well and my fries come out less crispy. Anyone else tried these and noticed a difference in cooking results?

Poking extra holes actually works or just makes a mess with grease?

Honestly those liners are great for stuff like chicken thighs or fish where grease is the main issue, but for fries or anything you want crispy they definitely mess with the airflow. Tbh just poke a few extra holes in the bottom with a fork before you put them in, that helped mine get closer to normal results. Ngl the convenience is hard to beat though, especially when you're cooking multiple batches in one night.

50 packs for $12 sounds crazy cheap I woulda guessed triple that.
