Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail are all run by dirt bags.

I haven’t seen any real evidence to that effect. Shy of handing your bank number to scammers, the “Don’t use your computer to do X, use it to do Y” consumerist internet activism never seems to impact anything. How Big Tech actually does business seems driven by FinTech investment far more than user engagement.

Try to get them to text them instead. Giant family text chains are a lot more fun (and chaotic) than generic social media.

Yeah, text of his niece figure skating is the same thing as a video. Solid advice!

You can put videos in a text thread. I’m on a 31-person thread that has been active for about 15 years. I promise there’s no shortage of videos.

By “text” here, do you mean Apple chat, SMS, or some other platform?

Mine don’t.
