If you buy a Pixel, you’re still supporting Google. So miss me with that sanctimonious shit.

You have poor understanding how Google makes money.

They need you using that phone with their spyware, they sell pixels to lock people up in their shiti GPS bullshit. Custom Rom fixes that issue.

Also, buy a second hand pixel if you really trying to do the full mile to dent the parasite profit.

No, I know exactly how Google makes money. And you’re giving it to them. Sure, you avoid their tracking, but if you think they sell their phones at a loss, you’re a fool. Good day.

You can always get a used or refurbished device. It's good for your wallet and for the planet.
