Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.
Oh my god, they're really going full enshittification now. Never thought I'd see them stoop this low.
I use protonmail, so I don’t have to see shit like that.
Because of low digital literacy
I was helping my dad with some computer stuff and I noticed Microsoft outlook online (Hotmail) has ads as well.
My corporate outlook online doesn't have ads.
And my personal gsuite (paid for Gmail) doesn't have ads.
Gmail has been doing this for yeeeaars
I'd need to pay for them. I don't care about privacy on my Gmail account so I let it slide.
Edit: oh wait, Proton has a free-tier. Will check
I believe this has been going on for a while now. It's one of the reasons why I switched over to Proton Mail.
Is that really surprising?
It’s Google, so no.
It's restricted to specific inbox tabs. I now only use Inbox, Forums and Updates, and get no adds.
I'm thinking the mobile users are in the worst spot for this. For desktop all this random spam goes into its own tab that I never look at.
Alas, the spam in my "real" google inbox is all my fault. Shouldn't have gave substack my email address.
A community for those that would like to get away from Google.
Here you may post anything related to DeGoogling, why we should do it or good software alternatives!
