A year ago I finally said most of my goodbyes to gmail and moved over to a more private email provider (Hushmail).

Yesterday, I went to go signup for Repl.it and for the first time I was told to go grovel via email to prove that my email is valid and that I'm actually a human. Sure, I stop what I'm doing and send an email. I get a reply back saying (summed up with the anger of watching the internet burn down around you) "go to our support forum and grovel publicly but if you're actually trying to reach someone send another email and we might take it seriously".

...is this really what awaits those of us who choose not to be with the largest email providers (Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo) or refuse to use SSO (Google/Github/FB Login)?

Last year I bought a new headset - the Arctis Pro Wireless and it's been one of the best purchases in a long time - especially since I end up being on a lot of calls and I cannot sit still to save my life.
