If what you're saying made any sense, we'd all still be stuck in 1982, without any of this "nerd shit" going mainstream. Do you think email was always part of people's lives for 30 years, or was there an adjustment period where ordinary people were motivated to learn something new?

I've taken many UX courses, although they never teach you how to win over pessimists or weird nerds who fawn over billionaires.

Not hating on it, but if they truly want email to go big they have to get rid of the federated domain system.

A new user shouldn’t see gmail.com as a landing page, it’s alien language and you’re not really aware of the consequences of your choices. Is it forever? Can I change my email provider? Can my email account go global despite being hosted at Gmail?
