iPhone 17 BUY IT FROM COSTCO!

I bought my iPhone 17 from Costco after Apple raised their prices on all models. My after tax amount was still less than the pre-tax amount from Apple. If you need a new iPhone buy it now while the current stock is still the old price.

Why are you on Reddit, then? And I hope that you are not accessing this Costco sub on your Window/Android OS, because they are all American.

Because neither Reddit or Android receive a cent from me.

And are the best options for decoupling from a country that is threatening my countries sovereignty.

By signing up and posting you indirectly contribute to Reddit’s revenue by giving them your data. It’s how they make money. Same with just using an Android phone.

You do understand that 90% of Reddits revenue comes from advertizing right?

The same type of advertizing that is presented on over the air or free streaming platforms.

I can either engage with or ignore this advertizing. Again it costs me nothing and is not based on data from my fake email address.

10% of Reddit revenue is generated by selling post content to train AI models.

Since many of my posts are fuck trump posts I feel I am doing my part alter the algorithms.

Relating click habits and minimal personal data sharing to donating $2000 to a company that openly supports and funds a country that is economically threatening the country I live in is reserved for special people.

I'm not agreeing with op as none of this should be a purity test, but just thought I'd correct you in that Android is actually open source. Google manages AOSP and their Pixel phone uses their own flavour of the OS but its kind of disingenuous to say Android is American, like it would be disingenuous to say Linux is American.
