This has happened to me at least 3 times with Google.

- They offer a free service.
- I sign up for the free service.
- A couple years later, they say to continue with the free service you must now do something I don't want to, like pay monthly or agree to put my home address publicly on the Android store.
- I decline, and my account on the service is deleted.
- For literally the next 15 years, I periodically get inscrutable emails about service changes or minor pricing changes in Bhutan

@mcc the best one of these was custom domains for gmail. they rebranded that feature as "Apps for My Domain", then merged it with google apps, then merged that with google workspace, then eliminated the workspace free tier. so if you ever used that feature and you didn't subscribe to Workspace when you try to use any google service (except for youtube) you get this
