Anyone wear knee straps/bands?

It seems to be very common here.  I'm used to seeing old folks and runners back home wearing these.  But the amount of people wearing them is only leading to the conclusion that stinky cheese causes knee patellar problems.

I wear knee sleeves on leg day, knee's are getting more and more creeky. They literally make loud "rice crispie" noises.
(Plus some pain). They are not too tight, just give a little support.

When I get up to 4-plates for squatting, I change over to the Powerlifting knee wraps... Though, from low-back pain, I havent squatted or deadlifted in a month.
(It seems).  Over-extended on the reverse-hyper...

I have similar issues.

Due to breakdown of cartilage under the kneecap.

I use knee sleeves with an opening for the kneecap, or else the patella will be pushed down and cause more pressure on the cartilage and area behind the kneecap.

Not sleeves but these straps that go below the knee cap.

I have knee sleeves, helps immensely with knee soreness after training

It might not be a golden thong, but Shizzo has a chance at winning that one!

For patellar tendonitis, I found bodyweight squats helped the best to recover.

I'm wondering why so many over here are wearing them now.
