Google made a pixel phone. I liked it. Unlimited photo storage for life they said. Google hangouts and duo they said. Google this and that they said. Seems they rug pulled on every one of those programs.

Now, what is the selling point of a Pixel phone? They are designed to spy on and abuse their users by default. The entire business model is built around collecting data on you for sale to other parties. Phones are VERY personal, most people wouldn't even share their phone with a friend!

Maybe phones have just become too personal as a device? Maybe it is time to close the book on businesses like Google that ship shiny spyware where the utility features of a phone (messaging) is an afterthought...
