I hope this works out for you and your users.

What about this concerns you?
- 3.1: The fact that a content license is necessary at all, and that it's still worded too broadly for my taste. - 3.2: "We may change, suspend, or discontinue any of our Services." [...] "We make no representation, warranty or condition regarding the availability or operability of the Services at any time." This means you effectively have no ownership of the subdomain and no control over the availability of the serv…
This looks like fun, reminds me of SDF but with an ability to provide more services due to the annual fee. edit: now that I revisit it, SDF does appear to provide more services, though probably with less commitment to reliability than omg.lol
Thank you for reminding me that SDF still exists. I just logged into my account there for the first time since 2005, and it still works.
He’s just a baby but still needs a unique email for me to create him accounts (eg frequent flyer, global entry) and I had previously been using a +variant on my gmail.
Having a vanity email alias seems more fun.
why would you buy a subdomain for $20/y instead of a regular domain?
I can see a lot of potential here as an alternative for people like me who don't have or want social media accounts. Sometimes I do want to share a profile with people without linking to my business website. But managing a separate domain / server / registration / email / etc. for that purpose hasn't seemed worth it. $20 a year is pretty reasonable. I think the one thing that would stop me from taking up on a service…

The longer something has existed, the longer it is likely to continue existing. Going with Gmail or a custom domain is a really safe bet. There is no way I’d use an email service that’s less than 10 years old now. My gmail account from when I was a kid is still active and working while most of the vanity/foss/privacy focused ones I signed up for have since died.

Sir, this is not a Google-branded service, nothing to worry about.
The average Google-branded service lasts way longer than the average ShowHN, memes be damned.
To be fair, this should be what to expect from any large corporation, but sadly, many don't.
