If youtube was a reasonable price I'd pay it. But being google, they not only charge a ridiculous price, but even if you pay that, they'll STILL sell your data on top.

Furthermore, it being a public company no profit will ever be enough. It doesn't matter if I paid 30$ a month, the next quarter the 30 billion profit won't be enough because it didn't grow from the previous quarter...

Fuck all that.

And if you buy any hardware from Google, count on it being discontinued and unsupported within a year. Anyone who continues to buy shit from Google is either deluded or a fool, or both.

Google fanboys are just as stupid as Apple fanboys. It's like watching two morons fight each other. These mega corps give no fucks about you.

I got a Pixel 5a refurbished because it's supported by LineageOS. Like a week after buying it I dropped it, cracking the screen. Got on iFixit, ordered a replacement screen, and once it got here spent an evening installing it. No regrets. But I am a fool, so that tracks.

My next phone will be a Fairphone now that they work with US carriers, though.
