People are complaining about Gmail sticking ads that looks like emails in the middle of their inbox
Another unhappy user named said the ad placements"should be illegal," and asked for the ads to be placed at the top again.When I checked my personal email, I found ads between emails under my Promotions tab, and the trash button on the ads is placed further right than it is for regular emails, meaning if I was deleting emails quickly, I could accidentally click on the"Visit Site" button on the ads.
Ads do not show up on the paid version of Gmail for Google Workspace. It's unclear if Google is testing the ad placements or if it is planning to roll out the change more widely. "We are always experimenting with formats and working on ways to help people discover and connect with new businesses," a Google spokesperson told Insider."The Promotions tab shows promotional emails from businesses that people subscribe to, as well as offers and deals from companies people might like. We rolled out instream ads in the Promotions tab last year across mobile and in the past month expanded to desktop as well.
