Next week: "Google scrapping gmail."

I doubt it. It's free data, they ain't getting rid of that.

[–] lud@lemm.ee 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It's not free though. Running an email service is not cheap.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Trust me they make way more money by running the service then it costs to run especially considering that everything is now in house. They own their own servers.

It's absolutely not free like you said though.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk -1 points 8 months ago

It's free for you. I have absolutely no idea what point you're trying to make.

exactly my thought.

"They are saying its here to stay, which means people should get their data off it asap"
