I have to agree that i too hate the devs saying pixel is the most secure but i disgree that google gets more money from pixels than our data .
Hmm... is your data worth 300€ every 3-4 years? This would indicate not. There are probably other sources, but 100€/year for your data = ~8€/month for your data. I'd find that hard to believe, but will gladly be proven otherwise.
In any case, even if it were > 100€/year, giving them that amount is like a present despite trying to degoogle yourself.

You are thinking the wrong way a phone like pixel would cost that much to make, transport, advertise etc in fact i think pixel is the best hardware you can get in that price range and google is only selling it at that price because they wanna be big in market and also tgey can bloat their own software to the phone aldready .
Google Pixel 8 costs 600€-900€...

Are you aware of the context of your own discussion? You're arguing a completely different point.

May I ask why you put a creative commons licence link in all your comments? Is it because of Reddit's recent activities?
It is indeed because of AI training, but it wasn't prompted by reddit as I've been doing it for longer than the recent announcement. It was prompted by CoPilot (Microsoft/Github's AI for coding). There's an ongoing case about them using licensed, opensource code that hasn't been settled yet.
