This isn't thats complicated:
Because email is dying and is already mostly optimized.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoEmail is most certainly not dying.
- tsunamifury 11y agoYes it most certainly is on a secular decline. It is no longer growing at rates that are keeping up with the online user base. New internet users are no longer even setting up email accounts. Email is dying. Its not dead, but it is no longer the go-forward internet communication platform.
- abeing 11y ago> New internet users are no longer even setting up email accounts. What percentage of new internet users do not have any email accounts? I haven't been able to find any reliable data.
- oh_sigh 11y agoSeems like a strange claim, considering many sites that new internet users use will not let you sign up without an email account
- abeing 11y agoI agree. I'm skeptical and would like to see what data might support that claim. I've not been able to find any myself.
- tsunamifury 11y ago1.2 Billion Whatsapp users with phone number only 800 Million Messengers users as phone number only 20+ Apps with 100m + users as phone number only. Together these PN based winners outstrip the combined usage of almost all web apps. I mean you are all downvoting me -- but its kind of funny how out of the loop the thinking is here.
- JustSomeNobody 11y agoIt is declining, but it's not dying. People are not using it for instant communication as other apps have taken the place of that, but email is very much used and useful.
