If you depend on Gmail for your email communication, but you're tired of seeing ads in your inbox, there's a simple way to get rid of them, though it may mean swapping one problem for another.
Your profile and demographic is racked and stacked. Even if you block ads they are selling you & your abstract content themes to people who want to market to you.
Yeah, that’s fine. I’m in forum X Y and Z and use this specific bank. Big whoop. Nothing they could possibly suggest to me is actually reaching me and I’m not going to pay for such a registration dump account. Imagine you couldn’t pay for it anymore and then you’d lose access to all those sites. Replacing / switching email accounts like this isn’t easy, and that goes in both directions. It’s possibly to have 2 decades worth of account registrations of them. That isn’t something you can just switch over to some other hoster.
I would care more if I were to write a lot of personal or otherwise confidential mails, but that would be a separate account anyway.
Have you ever read some whack article on a site that didn’t quite make sense? Somebody else paid for that site to try and legitimize a messsge that is too easily blocked by ad blockers.
Only weird AI written crap but that’s not really targeted towards me. It’s just lazy and mostly automatic content creation to get clicks.
Prolly like never.
Well, yes. Because I don’t even see them. I’m allergic to ads to the point where I would quit the site if I see them. If on mobile and there’s a YT link that opens the original YT app and it shows me an ad, I close it. I don’t care for the video anymore. I wouldn’t click on ads regardless if they’re personalized or not because that’s just not how I would ever shop anyway. Even if I’d see a product that might be interesting in an ad, I would then instead google the type of product, compare products with each other and then find a place where I can it the cheapest.
