- notsureaboutpg 6y agoThis isn't true at all. Many many many of my non-technical family members would not have any clue why emoji domain names and emoji email addresses could not be used. They love emoji (like most people) and want to use them everywhere. And if someone offered them an emoji email address, they'd easily pay for it and expect it to work like gmail/hotmail/yahoo They would not understand the following terms: unicode, punycode, domain name, mailserver, mail forwarding, tld. They would even probably reply to the wrong email (the website shows that the emoji email forwards mail to a normal email which sends the mail to you, so you should not click "Reply" on any email forwarded from this service to you). Don't assume customers' expectations.
- thatguy0900 6y agoHe advertised it to a general audience on tic tok,and it is a service people pay for. Why would they not expect it to work? That makes no sense to me. It seems that way because you understand how dysfunctional email is. I would be upset if I bought a service for something I don't understand that is normally completely functional and free and when I relied on it it broke only for people who understand it to laugh at me because I should have just known that vendor was unreliable.
