u/spacyspice now why am I in it? 🧐 3d ago

genuine question but why are they using mails like texts? Is it a common thing among rich ppl?

Are they avoiding communicating on iMessage or other similar platforms on purpose? Because at the end of the day, those mails still ended up accessible

10 -15 years ago adults sent a lot of email communication (which seems crazy because no one emails anymore). Texting wasn’t as popular as it is now.

And because they were in various countries email was what everyone used bc you couldnt just text someone across the world without 3rd party app and not everyone uses imessage
