Yeah, I knew about that this year, so many ads and comparing with other alternatives it’s like… lol

ProgrammingSocks,

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.

toomanyjoints69,

Is there any email service which doesnt require me to use javascript or cookies?

buddascrayon,

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?

thericcer,

Since it’s inception in fact. That’s what made it free to use.

federatingIsTooHard,

honestly, just use a mail client. on Android I use k9. on desktop, thunderbird.

ILikeBoobies,

Apparently hotmail/Microsoft does the same

257m,

Or is it?

jayrodtheoldbod,

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.

LemmyKnowsBest,

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.

Windows is phasing out the built in mail app which is basic but decent…forcing “upgrade” to Outlook which has ads if you’re not a paid user.

federatingIsTooHard,

thunderbird just got a major upgrade with new aesthetics.

Looks like your email account is nothing but adverts anyway, so probably not a huge deal?

ohlaph,

Haha

LemmyKnowsBest,

look closely where it says promotions toward the upper left. He literally screenshotted the “promotions” tab which is 100% ads. OP is either trolling us or he’s clueless because he’s never seen that before. But it’s always been there.

dyc3,

Y’all they have been doing this for literally years. Don’t act surprised it’s not fucking new.

Blackmist,

Advertising company puts adverts in one of few products they didn’t shutter two years in.

Years ago.

More at 11.
