Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down?
howrar@lemmy.ca 5 weeks agoThis isn’t without its own problems. If you fail to renew your domain and someone else picks it up, they now have access to all your accounts. At least with a popular provider like Gmail, they don’t allow emails to be reused, and if they ever discontinue email services and drop the gmail.com domain, everyone will know about it and know that password reset requests should not be sent to these emails.

This is a terrible argument, IMO. Domains are almost always auto renew, and there are typically grace periods.
