I want a mic, a decent one and I know nothing about them. A friend told me too search "professional microphone" on aliexpress cause there's good ones but the specs make zero sense to me.
My budget is 50$~100$ (???), but I don't even know how much I should actualy spend.
I want it to skype, record audio for some infomative videos and maybe sing. I don't own any audio interface more than what's integrated on my PC (generic realtek thingy), yet I don't mind buying something else if that would improve the quality.

get a Shure SM58. It's a decent mic for your purposes.

BM800 (plus audio card if background noise on your current one) or blue snowball. Both well below your max, both excellent mics I've used.
Rode.
In your budget just get a blue snowball. You won't find anything amazing that is USB without spending a couple hundred and if you get a normal mic you need an interface as well which is at least 99.
Blue snowball mic or anything else in that price range from blue
Sm58 is a dynamic mic which sounds like the wrong choice for your needs. You want a condenser mic
The blue snowball looks too "cheap", even if it actualy, how's the quality of the materials?
And for the next tier of mic, what's the budget I should point at? As I said, I don't know what my budget should be but I adult access to money so I'd like to find maybe the ideal point of money/performance for my needs?
For example, if spending more money implies better audio quality and maybe the possibility to record other instruments, or other audio inputs/outputs maybe it could feel worth.
Thanks for the answers by the way, I'll check more from blue, are they as good on their higher price products, if they have any?
