Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.
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.
I'm a mobile user and our Gmail is separated into "Primary emails" which is the stuff we really want to see, and "promotions/ spam" which are all the advertisements. that is what OP took a screenshot of. The second one. I don't know why he's just seeing this for the first time and thinks that it's something new. It's been like this since the birth of gmail.

I don't understand why there are so many surprised people in this thread. They've been doing this for a pretty long time now. Yahoo has been doing it for even longer.
Unless this is just people being fake surprised as a joke?
Vouching for FairEmail. It's by far my favourite mail client. It's material design and very safe cause it strips out all images by default or only tracking images if you choose.
idk what to say so the only thing i'm gonna say is... what the fuck
honestly, just use a mail client. on Android I use k9. on desktop, thunderbird.
