I've used Gmail since 2005 and don't ever remember seeing ads, but then again I use ad blockers on pretty much all my devices.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 9 months ago (2 children)

2000 or so for me. I have no idea how people are seeing ads in their inbox.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I have seen it on the gmail app only so far.
And not in the main mail box but in subfolders.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

yeah it's only in the subfolders which are bullshit anyways so it's no surprise longtime users opted out of that as soon as it came along

The public beta started in like 04 or 05 IIRC, I got my Gmail account my freshman year of college. I guess you were one of the cool people that got in on the closed beta.

Literally everyone on Lemmy is 38 years old

[–] [email protected] 15 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Can confirm. Am exactly 38 years old...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Happy birthday!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I'm over here telling myself that 50 is the new 38...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I was just informed that I'm actually 37...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Uh oh, I'll be 39 next week, does that mean I need to leave?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Also 04 was still the closed beta I think. Just not super closes. Got an invite from my friend back then

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

Yeah, I think I got an invite from a friend on a forum I frequented.

I was able to see ads but I had to look for it. I can see them if I enable the promotions section and the look in the promotions section.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

So the ads are in the section labeled "ads", who would have thought! (not being snide with you, just that's where they should be haha)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

give it a few years and you'll be seeing only ads and maybe an occasional email.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I already did. No change after several years.
