fuck it, do gmail next, force me to find a proper provider

who exactly thinks it’s good that things are this ephemeral? what’s the point of even using and enjoying and getting invested in something when they constantly pull this shit?

Gmail is too valuable a source of advertising data

In other words, Google won’t kill what they can use to harvest your data.

I mean, before Gmail, I had a new email address every 2-3 years. I’ve had Gmail for what, almost 20 years? That’s not what I’d define as “ephemeral.”

Finding an alternative is the easy part. You can get yourself a domain on Namecheap, and get an email attached to it for pennies.

Issue is that a lot of services out there don’t consider alternative email providers as valid. Some as a protective measure against spam, some because… fuck knows why, honestly
