I ain’t cheap, I just don’t like my money going to billionaires who give us nothing in return. I pay for email, I don’t pay to watch a Marvel film.

I don’t think it’s that hard.

You…pay for email???
Some people do. There are options (like Proton) that offer good services that respect their users and their privacy and I personally like to support that

Aye, as @forensic_potato said. And they have really good free options too, that are actually improved upon feature wise (only usage is limited)

Gonna pay once I can actually afford it.

A lot of us pay for privacy focused email because we don’t want Google or MS steal our data

Proton!

The fuck if I’m gonna let Google train an AI off my emails.

You have to pay to get a real domain
