Yahoo Mail vs. Gmail: Which should you use?

IMO - for anything important, neither.
When I signed up, they promised unlimited storage. They reneged. Why would I trust them now?
So it's fastmail or proton if I'm paying.
Or, I'm quite tempted to do this:

It’s on your side.
But you're right. It's on me. Thanks for reply. It has really motivated me to move away from gmail. I'll keep it as a burner account.
What irritates me is the Silicon Valley culture of greed and lying. They promised free storage to undercut competitors. When the competitors are diven out of business, they start charging.
And I know that if I pay, I still won't have access to any support, unlike fastmail, which I have used on various projects.
And... gmail doesn't provide any mass delete tools, so it's not actually about storage.
