Just give google more money, no thanks. Fairphone with lineage OS is a better option in my opinion.

    Easy. Refurbed phone. Google didn't get a penny.

    That’s keeps the used price for pixels high, which encourages people to buy new pixels cause they know it has a good resale market.

    Child slaves labored to make raw materials for the device you're holding. Your purchase kept the market rate for raw materials high, encouraging the continued use of slave labor. Don't you feel bad?

    We do the best we can with the decisions we have available to us.

    I agree, that’s why I have a Fairphone. It’s a way to minimize that impact.
