That's all I see people complain about.

If we can do that here, surely it can't be that hard to just pick a server on there and follow people, right?

I don't expect everyone to be a coding wizard, I'm certainly not, but how are so many people still so tech illiterate in this modern day that what essentially boils down to picking an email host is considered difficult??

when was the last time you met someone with an email account that wasn't gmail?

... for most people that is their only email too.

Oh no, that's not good. Somehow that hadn't crossed my mind until I saw your comment.

Most of the people I know irl use Outlook, Hotmail, their company email, or their private email in addition to Gmail. Some of their reasons are to keep family and business separate, to avoid spam, serious purposes like taxes, forgotten passwords, etc.
