You don't want gmail, you just think you do. Get an account where they care about you. I've been on fastmail for years, they don't make money from other ads and so their incentives are aligned with mine. There are other email companies that you can use as well. (Or at least get a paid google account if you really think you need google mail)
Thanks for completely ignoring the "if" and recommending my own email provider to me, followed by verbatim repeating what I said in parenthesis. 10/10 mansplain.
(I might be slightly salty about the repeated use of "he" further down this chain when "they" is a perfectly fine unassuming default)
