For the way you elect to play, this may be true, though given the number of artificial limitations you impose on yourself (as you've made well known on this forum), it's ironic for you to disdain other people for using crutches, and your myopic approach to playing hardly puts you in a good position to judge what other people "just need."
Learning more chord shapes (particularly movable ones) is not a complete solution, and even when it suffices, why should people choose this route, which may be unnecessarily harder? There are a number of playing styles and situations in which a capo is the perfect tool on ukes—including just making a key easier to play in with more basic chord shapes (its most common application on guitars, despite that one can "learn more chords" there, too). The pitches available on the open strings are often quite important to stylistic patterns and the fluidity and ease of play. The attitudes of snoots are irrelevant.
Your attacks on other people and your misinformation never end. Don't blame the messenger.
OP asked if a guitar capo would WORK on a baritone ukulele. The advisability of using a capo on an ukulele is an oft brought up and never resolved issue. Personal choice to use or not use this tool.
My post was not about intonation. Yes those spring clamping capos like the popular Kyser have no control of that.
It was I sometimes watch on youtube some videos, and I might be wrong, but was it a Guitar Sage? Telling how good a thalia capo is. Guys getting payed and never know what is honest or less.
Elliot capo seems another fad too, and they are expensive.
My post mainly was: capos are not that much in need with ukes, we just need learn more chords to finger

Your attacks on me just never ends, from day 1 I maybe posted my first post in this forum, and still the negativity continues?
BTW what is with the message deleting? So you would not sound as negative as in the posts that stay for people too read? That is why I put a quote too on your post, cause otherwise posting other readers find crazy. Now they see you.
Perhaps you tried contribute also on this thread, but without a personal attack is better, right?

Hugs I want give when I have been bad baby.
Why ask?
Because shopping is much harder than playing ukulele or guitar.
I bought a capo for my guitar two weeks ago. I know capo very well, because I use capo since I was in high school. There were so many capos in a local shop and all of them have samples for try. Shop man said A (see the photo below) may be better than B, because audience doesn't see the grip when we play. I often leave my guitars on the floor. Therefore type A is not good for me and I've bought B. I thought I was very clever. But the point was not there. These type of capo was too tight for my acoustic guitar. $7 cheapo (C) is better than $30 one. Now a days, we have so many selections in local shops and in the internet. I have experience, I've tried out in the shop but still bought wrong one for me.
