Yeah, but that's about "normal" for what they have been doing with YouTube and account security for the last 10-15 years. It's incredibly difficult to reach a human being in their customer support chain, and using bots t

It only sounds like Star Trek gibberish because it's not IT jargon. It's some new kids on the block out there, our time has peaked.

We went with Notion and while it's a Jack of all trades (it can be a wiki, a database, a public-facing web, an issue tracker, or a combination of everything at the same time), and needs a bit getting used to, we haven't regretted
