Inbox. Sigh, it really feels like inbox users were sold a bill of goods by the CEO of Google (https://gmail.googleblog.com/2014/10/an-inbox-that-works-for...) and for five years with no directive otherwise, most of us committed to a product that certainly wasn't free (my data is for sale because I used this tool). Today, I open their app which my data paid for and I'm greeted with a giant middle finger.

Something seems wrong. Some random PM didn't promise me this product. The CEO did. This relationship with a giant service provider (Google) feels more like the relationship I loathe with the average monopolizing telecom. I've been taken advantage of and my commitment in the end to this, as I learn, unclear experiment has generated enormous benefits for Google and today results in a frustrating realisation that I wasted my time trying for years to make it work.

One day, I really do hope there's a way I can take my email address and leave Google. Number portability deserves an analog in the email world.
