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.
The promotion tabs is your actual emails, just labeled by Gmail as "promotion". And then there is ads adding to your emails. If you do not open emails in this tab, it's time to do some cleaning friend, and unsubscribe from a bunch of things
You accidentally a word.
? What? This makes complete sense...
E. G.: "You are just using Windows" "You are just using Proton Mail" "You are just using xyz"
