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

I just checked my Gmail. I did not see a single ad in my inbox. Stop lying OP
Depends on the country I think. Which country are you from ?
OP is an idiot. From reading other replies, ads are only for people using inbox tabs/groups, and then only in the promotions tab.
I don't use tabs, so I don't get ads. If you don't go into your promotions tab, for example, in your primary tab, you won't get those ads either.
That's not how that works. Products that big don't have features (or “features”) rolled out universally. They do things per county, per demographic, or to random groups first, to have data on how it affects usage.
Only if they're happy with the results (or management overrides the rational decision process) they'll introduce things globally.
