Nothing new here:

  • any reasonable email client can mark incoming mail as spam, which makes you never get it again; getting it the first time can be useful in figuring out how your email address got out there -- when you do sign up for something, take advantage of gmail's '+': set your address as your_name+service_name@gmail.com and see how your address is shared
    • this is in no way some endorsement for gmail / google -- you still need the tools mentioned below
  • Adblock, uBlock, many alternatives already keep tracking pixels and adverts away
  • no $99 fee for things that are already freely available
  • no petulant company owner who stomps his little foot every time things don't go his way, tweets about the evils of apple whilst simultaneously putting apple on a pedestal
    • this is just a bonus; not really a deciding factor; there's always some petulant whiner to contend with.
  • no Duplo UI -- why is it that I need to waste most of a 27" screen on 1/2 an email?
  • 100 gig storage and no archive button? GTFO.

I think you are entirely missing the point. Reading your posts feels like Hey burned down your house.

Perhaps I am missing the point, because I don't see $99 worth of value in there. But I'm also one of those people that thinks that stupidly expensive cellphones are, well, stupid, as are expensive alloy wheels for your mac 🤷‍♂️ Convince me of something the Hey does that's honestly worth the cost. I'm all ears, except for my toes, which are really just fingers in disguise.
