There’s still no way to inject ads directly into your veins, so Google is going for the next best thing. Gmail is sticking ads in the middle of users inboxes. Ads that look exactly like emails. In between real emails. Emails that might already be spam. Fun.
spotted one user tweeting at Gmail, complaining about the ads in the middle of their god forsaken inbox. Gmail’s social media team responded, “That doesn’t sound good.” Nice that we’re all on the same page about this.Unfortunately, we’re not all lucky enough to see this exciting new experiment in marketing, at least not yet. Google appears to be in the midst of a test, showing these ads to some users and not to others.
My inbox is filled to the brim with spam, though! That’s one form of advertising that Google doesn’t seem to like. In just the last week, Google announcedto protect users from spam. Funny, if ya’ think about it, because these new ads are similar: messages that you didn’t sign up for clogging your email inbox. Of course, there is one big difference: with regular old spam, Google doesn’t get a cut of the profits.
