A comment on Google requiring all ‘G Suite legacy free edition’ users to start paying.

Oh this is a monster pain in the ass. All 5 family members are using this service for mail, Android phones/apps, TV, movies etc, plus I have a couple of extra accounts (e.g. separate email account for e-commerce orders). I already pay for extra Drive space and I buy movies frequently enough.

All I want is to be able to use my own domain for my family, and carry on using the current settings on Android etc. Now I'll be paying over $40/mo for it.

Can't Google just come up with an "own domain for families" version at a lower price, and make it work with the child protection features?

Yeah, our kids got regular gmail accounts from the start because of family link and google assistant issues.

We are still 4 adults using my domain and it is in no way business-related. These prices are way too steep for simply having a nicer domain.
