Why should I pay $99 per year for a hey.com email address? Robbery! I demand the courts lower this to 9¢ immediately, which I deem to be the true value of an email address. Hey are abusing their monopoly power over the hey.com domain...this will not stand! Burn it to the ground! Write to your congressman! I’ll spend my millions fighting this! Over my dead body!

I’ll chase them round the moons of Nibea and round Antares Maelstrom and round perdition's flames before I pay $99 for a fucking email address!

* I’m available for podcast interviews to promote my wares for a very reasonable fee. Hating hey.com is optional. No purchase necessary. Other email providers are available.

The rules change when a company has a near-monopoly and practices anti-competitive tactics to nerf their competition.

That's why we have anti-trust laws.
