Just because it's more profitable for them, doesn't make it right to users. Many people would like the flexibility of managing the extra space Google says we have in our Gmail account, so why not put people over profits for once and do what's best for users?
- pilif 15y agoGoogle does provide you with more flexibility of storage allocation once you purchase additional storage. At that point all services share the same quota and you get full flexibility. As such, see this split in case of unpaid accounts as another incentive for people to upgrade. As you don't pay anything, it's well within Google's right to optimize their offering to keep their costs as low as possible (ie. limiting picasa storage) and get the maximum marketing value (i.e practically unlimited mail storage).
- rooshdi 15y agoThey have the right to offer anything they want, but ignoring users who want more control over their supposed Gmail space just isn't putting the user first, it's putting profits first. But I guess greed isn't evil, right?
- mediaman 15y agoYou can complain about resource limitations on a free offering from a publicly traded company if you'd like. Or, if you'd like to be treated like an actual customer, you can become one, by paying for storage.
- rooshdi 15y agoOh yea, I forgot we only exist if we pull out our damn wallet in this corrupt capitalist society.
