Stop using gmail, it seems daunting but it really only took me a few solid hours to switch all my important accounts to a paid provider like fastmail.
Think about how many important accounts you link through email and then think about how, if you don’t pay for gmail, Google doesn’t owe you access to your email or any service at all.
It feels great being free and you can setup forwarding so you can pick up the stragglers.
You also get the added spam freedom and security benefit of changing both your email and password which is great since we have no idea what leaked email/password lists are floating around out there... it’s like the ultimate unsubscribe!
