    Email is something where it can be worth a few currency units per yr for a fast / privacy focused email account that doesn’t contribute to your metadata profile.

      Depends on what you do with it. I use it pretty much only for all the accumulated account registrations over the years.

        well…with that, google knows where you are, so it can sell you to where you aren’t!

        Most email providers have decent to great aliasing & filters / rules.

          They do that through my smartphone, not my email. Unless you’re talking about online locations. Either way they can’t sell me shit since I used adblockers for all my life and forever will be using them.

      Proton is free. They only have Proton ads. And they also force ads into your outgoing emails.

        That is cool. However, for a few bucks a month, one can get an email that is 100% private & fast. Email is worth outsourcing.
