Seriously, TWELVE rounds last night just to try to send an email, and I'm pretty sure it didn't even go through.
The main purpose isn't even preventing spam. It's getting people to work for Google for free. And they make people who don't like Google work more. I legitimately hate them.
PLUS I just found out that Google again did a big system update over data on Matlock's phone, jacking up our charges again this month. I've set it to only do system updates over wifi, but they just ignore that.
Fucking dirtbag leeches.
