Theres a whole big internet out there. You don't have to limit yourself to one single company.
Getting off youtube is pretty difficult with no true alternative.
You forgot to add get off Android, which would also mean just going Apple. There is no good alternative there either.
No, GrapheneOS is a great Android OS tbh
I use GOS but... Google phone...
I honestly don't have a problem buying stuff from Google, provided they don't get to hoover up my data. And I can buy that Google Phone from eBay or something instead.
My main issue is not that the phones are Google but that they are flagships only. Completely unaffordable new, cost like a normal phone when used thus overpriced for their condition, and the only ones that cost somewhat like a normal phone new are the ones on which Graphene is EOL. I guess EOL Graphene is still better than a stock OS with updates, but a full phone price for something out of support is still massive overpaying.
Theres always Apple
Thanks, I like having control over my own device. And having both kidneys.
