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

It's only in the promotions inbox, which if Gmail is sorting correctly is just full of commercial spam anyways. Doesn't really impact the experience for me since I rarely ever check it
Turn off your promotions inbox and only have a main inbox and you don't get ads
LOL, I've had that buried for so long I had to hunt for it to see what OP was talking about. Talk about a non-issue.
They definitely started putting them in all inboxes for the mobile app, I turned off the split inboxes when it happened, could have been A/B testing or something like that. I looked at degoogling myself straight after that, spent hours reading and planning and looking through options, then realized that any solution options would not work for the rest of my family and now just stare into the pit of despair that is our dystopian reality. Might check out how proton is doing now though.
