Google is putting ads in gmail. WTF?
Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.
You're viewing a single thread.
were these not always in gmail?
Yes. They have always been a part of Gmail. Even back when Gmail was invite only they implemented ads (one of my accounts is from 2004).
They used to be off to the side, not disguised to look like unread emails.
I've never seen them and have been using it for close to 20 years now
They only show up if you use the tabs. And then I think they are only in Promotions.
oh right that's a cursed function anyways
I was wondering what people were talking about! Thank you!
I too, have never seen these before in my life, and I also don't like tabs. I turn them off for everyone I can, too. I had no idea I was also turning off these ads. Nice.
Yes they've always been a thing in the promotions/else tabs, anyone who says they aren't around simply hasn't clicked those tabs or registered they existed (in fairness, everything in that tab is generally an ad)
IDK cause I use Adguard DNS and the DDG app. I never see ads anywhere
