I would have probably checked my messages more if I had search to text translation of my messages and it wasn't an extra fee.
More machines talking to me = I'm less likely to check messages unless I'm expecting something. If you email me without giving me a heads-up first, there is nearly a 0% chance I'll see it. The only medium where the chance of my actually receiving your message the first try is over 90% is Whatsapp. I used to work to keep the % of garbage down in my email, but realized at some point that I was receiving so few emails I wanted that weren't just transactional messages from a machine, that it was pointless (I can just search for transactional emails if I need them, because I'm expecting them and know where they should be from, so inbox clutter barely affects that use at all).
