Gmail can be easily replaced, by like Proton mail or something
Except for the fact that you’ll need to update your email address in so many places.
If you do move to a different provider, make sure you use your own domain. It’s way more professional, and it lets you move to a different provider in the future without having to change your email address again. I’ve had one of my email addresses for a bit over 20 years across a bunch of different providers.
The paid version of Protonmail lets you have up to 3 custom domains. MXRoute and FastMail let you use your own domain too. MXRoute supports unlimited domains and addresses; you’re just limited by total disk space.
If the email address is important to you, it’s better to use a paid service since it’ll usually give you proper support and an SLA.

Which is actually a good thing. Might sound scarry and counterintuitive at first, but is the right way to go.
Especially with a custom domain, (can be smth cheap for 2 bucks a year) and using aliases for all the different places… like onlyfans@mydomain com… this prevents other malicious services from sending spam to your main email adress, since you can just delete the alias.

My point was more that if you do change email address, you should change to your own domain, since then you won’t have to change it again in the future :)
using aliases for all the different places…
Yeah this is great. I use a catchall email so anything @ my domain goes to me.
