It was the main introduction to email for a lot of Australians, they’ve been using it as is for 15-20 years.
It’s more than just one generation that uses it, I know people in their thirties who use theirs via the Gmail app as with any long-term email their is no need to change address.
I remember only signing up to Gmail because it felt new and techy.
It used to be quite a big deal, back in the day. The other day I read a really old thread on some local forum here in NL, and it said that you couldn’t sign up with an “anonymous” email address, such as hotmail or gmail. Only provider-issued email addresses were accepted there so “they had an idea who they were dealing with”. Times really did change a lot.
Didn’t even know this was a service to begin with.
