Gmail forced Grammarly-style editing nitpicks on everyone.

Gmail can force it onto me because it's their webpage, not mine.

On the internet, you're in somebody else's funnel, someone else's agenda.

What would it look like if Gmail were more of a dumb pipe?

Just email sending, receiving, and storage.
