By all means use vxNsr’s service (though I wish they mentioned their financial incentive before hand, props for mentioning it in the first place).

I second their approach. By using a unique email per service you maintain a bit more control by being able to filter via “to” address or deregister the email via the service provider. It’s not perfect but it’s at least some bit of control where trust is not required.

Personally I am using simplelogin.com. And full disclosure I wish it had smoother UX in many cases but overall the price vs feature set cannot, as far as I am aware, be beat.

In general: I agree. Demanding attention, whether that be in person such as via mail, txt, or phone call or digital such as via email, should be opt in and NOT opt out. Incentive wise it simply does not make any sense for it to be opt out when the cost of contact is close to 0.




Once I’d already signed up for 33mail I found simplelogin.io it looks great too, especially feature-wise for the price. It’s 2.5x more expensive vs 33mail (at the base plans) but you get a slicker looking UI and a lot more features.

I was excited about 33mail bec the founder hangs out here sometimes.

You’re right I should have kept the disclaimer closer to the link, I’m on mobile and kept adding stuff and lost track of how it looked, it’s too late to edit now.
