Tell HN: Google has started injecting sponsored listings into emails randomly

3 pointsby neya11 months ago
So, today I logged in and saw that my email inbox is full of alternating mails with &quot;Sponsored&quot; labels. Maybe I am part of some cohort, but it shows normally only in sponsored tab, but now it seems like it is spilling across other tabs as well. WTF Google? That&#x27;s the last straw.<p>I am not some free user yapping about it, I am actually a paying customer of their Workspace product for a bunch of users and last I checked it includes Gmail too. Is there a way to turn it off or should I simply migrate to another service provider? What are some better privacy-aware alternatives that will make my transition worry free? It actually made me realise how much reliant I am on Google. All I need is a decent email provider and some storage solution so I can get rid of Google.<p>Thanks in advance.

Fastmail are a popular choice. Regarding storage, Dropbox, PCloud, or maybe a NextCloud provider.
