They’re trying to be the MSN of the 2020s but their userbase has zero interest in advertising or AI slop. It’s not going well and they refuse to focus on their core product.
90s script kiddie here - a bunch of the shit you can do as a minor with low/no consequences becomes SERIOUS FUCKING BUSINESS as an adult with assets. It’s just not worth the risk to keep dicking around with things that might land you in prison or cost you everything you have.
Is (insert heavily marketed product here) just a fad?

My RAID5 of 28 disks is ultra safe I tell you
If it makes you feel better I haven’t met a grad student in the last 20y who wasn’t on some psychiatric medication. Basically everyone I knew in school was on antidepressants at the very least and the majority of undergrads were taking stimulants.

You can access Gmail over IMAP and pull down messages locally. If you do this; Back. Up. Your. Mbox.
