Hi - this was an interesting post and I wanted to download the report for myself. Sadly the auto-form says it doesn't accept emails from gmail.com or outlook.com? That seems odd... if you have any insights, please let me know. Thanks, MC

Yes, that's likely true. Unfortunately, some older or widely used free domains are more prone to being used by spammers or bots. Platforms often block email addresses associated with these domains to minimize the chance of spam or fraud.

Because these domains are free and easily accessible, they may be more likely to attract fake or disposable accounts. Some platforms prefer email addresses from domains perceived as more secure, often associated with ISPs, schools, or workplaces.

Some platforms target specific demographics or user groups, especially for services that are business-focused. They may assume that users with personal email domains are less likely to meet their ideal profile or audience.
