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
Gmail has been doing this for yeeeaars
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.
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.
idk what to say so the only thing i'm gonna say is... what the fuck
It's restricted to specific inbox tabs. I now only use Inbox, Forums and Updates, and get no adds.
This is why I switched.
