Another weird thing that vendors do is requiring work email. I put my Gmail at internal.io, it wouldn’t let me sign up.

I found two competitors, signed up to both with Gmail and paying for one. Not my loss, doesn’t bother me.

What is the logic behind all these stupid rules? Money is money, customer is a customer whether they have gmail or some other fancy email, right?
