This makes me anxious about my long time Gmail address. Back then I got it just because it and Google was cool, and their services had a good reputation. It was a different Google back then. If they had launched it this year I would never have got one because chances are it would have been cancelled by 2025. Gmail is really the only valuable thing that actually ties my life to Google. And it's not that hard to replace, but just a bother to inform some people and update account details.

What I’ve been slowly doing over the years is proxying all accounts behind addresses at my domain (that then forward to my gmail, natch).

So at least I could redirect my accounts to a new address if worst happens.

I’ve been trying to switch off gmail for a while but spam filtering is really hard for me.
