I still reluctantly use gmail cause im subscribed to 500 things through it an everyone for like 20 years has that as my email address. I do not want this.
Yeah, I casually “forgot” I still have my Google account as well. Just that I moved everything away a long time ago. Mainly for privacy reasons because I didn’t like any Google reading my inbox. I’ll randomly log in to gmail every few years and see if it’s still there… I mean it won’t get any better, these things get constantly made worse. So if you can muster up the energy and time to do something, it’s probably better to do it sooner rather than later. But I feel you. Subscriptions can be changed, that’s just time and effort to do it. But people for 20 years is hard. I don’t see any good solutions to tackle that.
at my age (40s) honestly the people who are still around are still around. I can go through my contact list and email every single person Id ever care to hear from and tell them I have a new email address. I guess its just the worry that some long lost friend or ex or what have you will have some burning need to connect with me and wont be able to. but like… you can find my professional profile on the internet no problem. 95% of it is laziness. fucking google :(
