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

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

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.
