On the one hand, that’s ridiculous.

On the other, if you find a way to get people to pay you $30 a month for an otherwise free or cheap service, then bravo. Even if I think it’s silly, it’s a progressive tax on something way less evil than, say, bottling public water and then selling it back to the public.

As much as I’m not a fan of paying that much for email, the fact that anyone has the ability to interrupt you has an enormous potential cost.

Being more effective with email and communicating is a life changing discipline and skill.

The 30/mo should be seen as the hundreds or thousands it can make or safe some people who have to be effective with their time and communication. Again, maybe not for everyone.
