  • It kind of does, most of my tech friendly family members refuse to buy Chinese phones, not because they care about privacy but because they have no resale values. They only buy iphones, samsung and google.

    If Google secondhand market crashes, I’m pretty sure some of them drop Google from their acceptable phone list. I’m not saying it’s direct impact of Google, but at least it’s indirect in the sense they will not buy Google next time.

    So if you buy secondhand Google 8, you are part paying your sellers next Google pixel 10. It’s a bit mental gymnastics, but not baseless theory.



  • Yeah what you watch first changes your opinion a lot of times. It’s like a caveman saw copper first thought it was shiny and kept it but it got rusty and Green but he still loved it when he found it new. Then he finds gold at some point and realises gold was superior shiny value all along. So better to learn about copper first so you can appreciate it and it’s not diminished by obvious comparison.

    However, for me when i saw the movie (I saw movie first anime later) , I thought it was one time watch. And I discarded watching GiTS because I thought anime would be similar. I only watched anime because some YouTuber went on and on about how that movie affected everything from wachowski brothers in matrix to battle angel Alita. And that’s when I decided to give it go. And as I watched it, I regretted not seeing it sooner.

    My point being it’s all pointless, you enjoy what you think is nice. You watch what you want to watch. My recommendation is to watch anime, but I am sure there are people in the world that will find anime to be hot garbage.
