Ask HN: How Googley is threatening to disable my Gmail unless I pay for storage?

You'll stop getting emails on Sep 1 ... You don't have enough storage. Starting Sep 1, emails sent to you will be bounced back to the sender and can't be recovered. Try more storage for 1 month at no charge.

    Delete some emails. If you're not paying for the service you're really at the mercy of the service-owner and the Terms of Service you agreed to.

    It's wasn't Googley 20 years ago [0, 1], but I'd say it's Googley today.

    Two options, delete or pay. I did both.
