🙄 stop putting weird arbitrary restrictions on your web forms challenge

@molly0xfff I like that one more than the "must be @ gmail . com" tbh ~

(but yeah, both are bad)

@molly0xfff “Professional email required” is industry shorthand for “We intend to sell your contact details as ‘business prospects’ to a wide variety of fly-by-night B2B companies who will spam you at your work address every day until you either die or change jobs.”

@angusm @molly0xfff or the free content shouldn't be named free since you pay with you contact data. Probably to go into someone's funnel to hopefully make you buy stuff later. And that doesn't work with spam email boxes, so they want your business email since everyone uses free email providers just to get the free content and never or want to be in a funnel.

I understand both business owner as well as the customer.

@molly0xfff

*calls them up*
*voice recording* Please disconnect and call back from a professional land line.
*click*

Seems reasonable.

@molly0xfff this has to be the dumbest thing ever.

@molly0xfff I'm still amazed at the one that was happy with fedora.emai but not fedora.email. (The error just said "invalid email address" or something.)
