I disagree with the premise where time spent finding an email is wasted time. Personal control over the privacy of one's email is exactly what makes email valuable.

This is true for both sender and receiver because: Larger inbox load means less time/mental energy per message which in turn means lower value per message.

It's like the reverse of a network effect: the more users you have spamming people, the less valuable those emails become.

I agree that an email address is something very valuable.

With our service though, it's simply storing emails found through a vast search of the web. If, for instance, a CEO at a company doesn't give out their email publicly, you'll never be able to find it using us because we will never find it. However, if they did post their email somewhere, chances are you could find it with enough time and clever searching.

Our service aims to minimize the time spent for the latter. In that sense, we simply give you an advantage. Not everyone will be using our service.
