For (1): consider that your entire digital life is bound to your email address. In a sense, Google owns you. $50/yr is a small price to pay for truly owning your digital life. That’s what I tell myself, anyway.
(I recently renewed my Fastmail subscription for an additional two years)
- devoutsalsa 4y agoI left Gmail for that exact reason. I just didn’t want to wake up one day to find my digital life had been locked out because Google Photos has thought my picture of a funny tree was somehow an object that violates their terms of service. Fastmail has been great, and I also prepaid for multiple years. No complaints.
- cynix 4y ago> $50/yr is a small price to pay for truly owning your digital life. For some people it’s not just $50. If their whole family is on GSuite Legacy, for example, migrating away will be 4-5 times that, or more. I wish Fastmail offered storaged-based pricing without a hard limit on the number of accounts.
