This post rubs me the wrong way. Don't get me wrong, I'm a FA customer.

But this makes it seem like FA feels entitled to people's attention. Google is getting in the way of that, so they are complaining about the system.

Yes, unscrupulous opportunists + Google + AI (in that order) have rotted the email system into a byzantine husk of its former useful self, especially for promotion, but I don't understand why FA is making a fuss over this or should be accorded special treatment. Email sucks for everyone, maybe find other ways to get your message out?

Something like, "We have only good intentions! It's not like we're selling penis pills!"
