I feel the Chrome dinosaur kicked those off, and I do (did?) like the dino. But "it's not you, it's us" is very annoying. "We made a booboo UwU".
When something has gone wrong I really don't want to feel I'm being marketed to, I just want information!
> OOPSIE WOOPSIE!! Uwu We made a fucky wucky!! A wittle fucko boingo! The code monkeys at our headquarters are working VEWY HAWD to fix this!
Well that's great if you worship Inbox Zero. But what about me?
Maybe I'm anxiously waiting for news on a family member's illness and hospitalization.
Maybe I'm waiting for my lawyer to get back to me on an important case.
It's not hard to imagine any number of circumstances where I would not say "hooray!" when I see my inbox is empty.
