Why would anyone use this over Proton Mail or the gazillion alternatives if it treats people like shit.
Is that really surprising?

It’s Google, so no.
I believe this has been going on for a while now. It's one of the reasons why I switched over to Proton Mail.
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.
