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

If they were really doing this it'd probably be considered fraud.

Clicks need to be real and organic and placing something so a person accidentally clicks it intentionally when they sell the ads would be fraudulent.

But good luck proving it if so.

If you have a Gmail account with promotional emails, go into your promotional inbox and just mouse around a little bit near the top 10 emails. You'll most likely see it move the ads around

I have the promotional section and actual email from companies are there, but no ads from Google. Maybe it's not allowed in Canada?

Nice! Maybe so.
