I mean its a small company. We have become too used to subsidized costs at the sake of our privacy. Know why TVs are now $200? They are literal spyware in the home. Try buying one without spyware, $999 real fast for the same TV.
Know why phone companies give you a “free” $1000 phone? Youre the product. Constantly tracked and sold. A digital slave.

Pinephone was a fraction of that price. Can’t you run PostmarketOS on a Fair phone too? But that has much better specs.

Phone companies dont give you a “free” $1000 phone, you’re actually paying more for it via the monthly bill payments. That’s on top of you being the product as well.

People don’t know this it seems. You actually have to give up something to gain some privacy. Can be money, can be features. Most people still use Google while there is Kagi for like 10 dollars… Because they want privacy, but they need it to be free. :)
