            Still supports Google. They will produce more because people are trading in their old ones. Unless Google completely stops producing pixels, any demand for refurbished ones still shows up as demand for pixels from their sales metrics.

              You are not wrong but a small onetime purchase of a used device every 5-7 years is drop in the ocean compared to renting a new phone off the rack every two years and being locked into the ecosystem of your provider. The only thing I feel bad about is buying the phone from Amazon. I just couldn’t find one anywhere else and my old phone was barely usable.

      Lol by solely using it to bypass ads on YouTube you’re not supporting them, they don’t get anything from except view history which they can’t do shit if you otherwise don’t use brave

          Fair enough. But I need some way of watching YouTube without ads and PiP on my phone, and fuck am I paying google. If you or anyone have any alternatives I’m open.
