Gah!

But one of the key benefits of this is obscuring what my actual Gmail address is!

I don’t want to use my Gmail address as my main email address. Even if it’s just for personal usage.

I don’t want people knowing what my Gmail account is.

And what happens if I do use my Gmail for everything and Google decides to lock me out of my account….

So are Google wrecking peoples Gmail account setups just to push people into paying for their Google Workspace product?

This industry wide obsession with squeezing revenue out of every little corner of services is exhausting and exasperating.
