I have a 100 gb Google storage just so I don’t run out of email space. Even if you aggressively unsubscribe from shit, there’s just waaaaay too much emailing in general by companies.
I once bought four items in a single order from Amazon. They shipped all items separately, which meant I got four shipment mails, four DHL ‘it’s underway’ messages, four ‘it’s being delivered today’ messages and four ‘your item has been delivered’ messages by DHL. Oh and to round it out: four delivery confirmations from Amazon.
All told, that one four-item order meant 21 separate emails. There HAS to be a more efficient way to handle that.
I considered buying some space from Google since their "never run out of space" thing is long gone from the beta I signed up for.
But then I just nuked my whole storage. Damn that was nice.
Throw that heap out. It's not healthy.
Well it’s not like the entire 100 gb is email; there’s also actual things stored there.
I also get and send a LOT of larger, work related emails. And I need to keep old stuff for reference. It just wouldn’t work with the basic 15 gb; I’d need to clean it out every three months or so. With the 100, I just chuck out a bunch of stuff every two years or so.
Even with snail mail, I'll routinely get the same two letters delivered to the same address on the same day - one for me and one for my wife.
Just the laziest printing/mailing imaginable even after this being junk mail, but nobody seems to care.
