No, it drives demand for used pixel phones. No one’s buying new pixels to supply the used market. They don’t interact in that way.

If you really want to make sure Google never benefits, buy one off Craigslist, put a case on it, and tell people its a Samsung galaxy with a custom home screen.

Buy used and unlocked. Just sold one at my work, was a pixel 8 pro for 300 USD.

I’m sort of surprised it fit on the 120mm fan slot. Maybe they just forced screws through the grill though.
