It's crazy how much we are tracked, and how deeply the different data points can be linked - that we are digitally just stalked through so many services...
He mentions gmail is a great service without mentioning why. Two big things: 1) spam protection. People might forget how bad spam was back in the day before gmail. It’s so rare now for spam to get through. 2) near unlimited space. There are more useful features they pioneered but those two features are what gmail excels at. Not easy to match and that’s why DHH doesn’t explicitly say they’re really good at spam, just that you can give it a “thumbs down” and block it. But still such a waste of energy to have to do it in the first place. If the cost is they bundle my info up in a way that can’t be traced back to me so that I might get ads that are relevant to me, that’s a tradeoff a lot of people are willing to make. Tell me they can do more than give me late 90s email with a slicker interface and I will look at it more seriously.
This is the dark side of the internet that in the early days of me making RUclips videos I talked about but as it turns out the platforms I were using to talk about it happened to be Google and you can guess how great them videos did
Save yourself sometime. First 4mins of this "RUclips" video it trashing Googles "Free" Email service. And the rest is him asking for $100 for his new e-mail service. Hey! you managed to get a nice free Ad on RUclips
the video is pretty clear. either pay directly for mail or get fleeced for way more with no control over who or what organisation gets your personal data.

The problem with paid services is also subscriptions If you have to pay everything, you have to pay every month Why not buy once and have it forever ? Too much subscriptions actually and not infinity income
This is why I am not opposed to One time payments with micro transactions. If it has value allow the user to choose if they want to purchase the extra content. Entice them so that they do not regret having it.
The current best model for software (in my opinion) that benefits both the users and the developer, is a subscription model where you keep what you pay for; Once your license has expired you can still use the software for as long as you want and you don’t have to renew your license if you don’t want to. Renewing a license is only required for major updates, but still get bug fix updates after your license has expired. This both incentivises the developer to keep updating their software, and gives users the choice to stop at a specific version, and continue later when they feel like they want new upgrades.

Ironically, one giant ad for his company
Nothing ironic about it. They aren't selling your data, that's the point.
@@puneetgupta2000 And how do you know that? He literally said you don't even know if companies like Google are selling your data

So those are the two things that you are willing to give up all your data for? Wow your cheap date :)
@@godonholiday are you asking this for him or for 80% of email users?

@@firstsparYa ya right, great selling point
You can just pay for Google Workspace with better data privacy?
yeah sure of course you can.

A 6min ad for a paid email platform. What was the title of the video again?
Your video is great❤❤❤

Buy once and use forever (free) doesn't make sense for services.
