Experience, perhaps?
That maps partially to my own experience. The majority of folks I know who identify as 'conservative' are older, less tech savvy, and tend to use whatever they had set up a long time ago. @AOL? @Yahoo? @MSN? If it's working, they'll just keep using it.
A few I know have made a transition to gmail, I think at the behest of younger children (as in, they may have set it up for them during a holiday visit, etc). But in my own life, with the majority of conservatives I know where I also know their primary email, it's not gmail.
- hotpotamus 5y agoMy experience agrees with you and I just realized that you can roughly guess someone's age by their email domain. As a Millenial, I've used gmail for going on 20 years, but I feel like that was more or less the peak of email - I don't know that Gen Z uses anything else. My guess would be they moved onto social media and while they probably have emails, it was never their primary method of online communication.
- IceMetalPunk 5y agoI would wager that for most Gen Z-ers (and younger), their emails are used only for two things: confirming account registrations and communicating with older people (a la teachers, businesses, etc.) Most of their inter-demographic non-realtime communication is likely social media and texts.
