"Despite repeatedly explaining this, they ignored my assertions and continue to hold my email hostage."
Well, you have become the product here. That also happens by other "free" email providers too. I had this happen to me on inbox.lt; the guy demanded I use a smartphone to "prove" my identity. At that point I realised they want to connect this data to the account and sell it to others who are interested in that.
Google Workspace isn't free, it is a paid for plan.
its $13 per month for a basic plan.
What do you add to humanity with this crappy take? Why are you shitty to the victim?
Because his honest and accurate diagnosis for why mega tech corps treat people inhumanely is the first step towards stopping it. In my opinion of course.
1. they're wrong in their basic understanding; this is not a free product
2. the response is glib and lacks any empathy
3. there's no suggestions of possible action or resolution path
4. it is all opinion and low value / low effort
So even if it's an "honest and accurate diagnosis" that you agree with, it's not helpful, valuable or even comforting. We can do better.
What's a good alternative to Google Workspace for SMB customers?
