Lol who the fuck uses the promotions tab?

You are just using Gmail poorly.

Like going to a shopping centre and complaining the stores have ads in front of their stores. There's legitimate concerns about Google and then there's just dumb users.

E. G.: "You are just using Windows" "You are just using Proton Mail" "You are just using xyz"
