If you don't want crappy e-mail service, you need to pay monthly for it. If you are not paying for it, you are not the customer.
I'm just so tired of people endlessly complaining about things they have never paid for. Let the ad-model carry those who genuinely cannot afford the services they need, it's revolutionary in that regard. But most of you here have the money, so start paying.
One thing I think it's still always valid to complain about is when your time is stolen. It's precious, and you can never get it back. If the unpaid experience slows you down unnecessarily, I think it's okay to be frustrated.
The truly infuriating experiences are like cable tv, where the paid experience is terrible, too.
Google does know how to do the paid version well. YouTube Premium is a great example. Massive music library and no ads, ever. It's astounding how much better the experience is.
Offtopic: Oh boy, I recently had a "joy" to watch a cable TV. 5-minute ad breaks every 10 minutes or event more often – it is even much worse than Youtube with ads.
