It's annoying, but calling it "outrageous" is just silly. How much do you pay them and what did they promise you for your money?
I have got used to this great free stuff too, but I don't believe I deserve unlimited free stuff, and I won't get all huffy when they take it away.
- prebrov 14y agoI pay by letting them dig through my email, calendar and GDocs and resell data advertisers. I have little doubt those impressions of ads hanging in front of my face in GMail all day long earn them 5 bucks a month. And they don't exactly refrain from mining my personal data once I pay for their service with cash. So, it is little short of outrageous.
- mibbitier 14y agoI very much doubt they make 5 bucks a month per user. Maybe 5c.
- prebrov 14y agoThinking about it, sure, 5 bucks is outrageously much. Didn't give it enough thought, my bad. Anyway, my major concern is that somehow my data stored with 'enterprise-grade' paid service still gets mined and resold to 3rd-parties. I'm being forced to pay while still it's me that's being the product. Privacy is a hefty enough price to pay for a personal email.
- thrownaway2424 14y ago"resell data advertisers." FYI that's not how google makes money.
- prebrov 14y agoYeah, I know. It's not literally data, it's knowledge about me and ability to target me they sell. Processed data.
