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

That's weird, I feel like it does improve my experience. I like how it categorizes my emails.

Yeah, there's like three tabs there I don't need to look at.

You can turn on and off tabs. But if you turn them on, you're going to get ads.

I've been getting these ads for months now, and am slowly working on moving to proton/k9. I imgine it's going to suck getting similar filters set up for my mail, though.

2023 is easily the worst year in the history of the internet, every big company can go fuck itself imo

Never noticed an ad in the Primary tab. They appear in the others. I genuinely never look there as it's just three extra tabs of spam I don't need to see.

If any of my wanted email is there, I guess I'll see it when I use the search function. That also doesn't have ads. So far.
