  Google makes a lot more money from your data than they do from these phones.

    I still think if I was strictly anti Google that would imply giving them not a single dime.

      I don’t really have a stake in this race because it’s quite a dilemma (personally I like the idea of Graphene supporting more devices with varying security promises) but I’d imagine between buying a 2nd hand Pixel or exclusively using Google services, Google would rather people do the latter.

      They simply make more out of data gathering and GrapheneOS sidessteps that, so as a user I’m leaning towards the former so I can more readily degoogle myself.

      I don’t think it’s about not giving google money, I think it’s about protecting personal privacy. I will happily give Google money if it’s in a privacy respecting manner for high quality product.

    Well if you’re influenced by ads then absolutely. I’m not sure how much money does it make from techy people like us. It definitely makes something.

      It doesn’t matter if you’re influenced or not.

  To be fair, there’s an argument to be made that “I’ll just pay Google one last time in order to get my privacy back.”
