Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.

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.

It's super easy to block the ad on outlook and get back the lost screen real estate (compared to Gmail). So I always appreciate that.

Id be pretty pissed if corporate outlook started giving every employee ads.

I share a Microsoft Office family account with my parents now so at least they aren't getting ads in their Hotmail inbox anymore
