Ugh. I just signed up for another year in July.

I don’t need my email to be exciting or edgy or whatever CEOs think I should pay extra for. It’s fucking mail. You literally have ONE job, but apparently that’s not enough “growth” for high-energy tech bros.

The stupid part is that I hardly use email anymore. It’s all signup and login confirmations daily notifications from my self-hosted server backups, unskippable Amazon purchase, shipping, and delivery notifications, and notifications from various banking and payment platforms. Probably 2% or less is actual correspondence. The vast majority of it gets deleted without ever opening it.

Adding AI services and features is just an excuse to charge more money.
