New Gmail rules enforced starting in February should reduce spam, make it easier to unsubscribe from bulk senders, and close email security loopholes exploited by cybercriminals.

    That’s honestly so bad. I wonder why I haven’t noticed this? Presumably it doesn’t happen on paid / institution accounts? I do have a garbage gmail for junk mail, but maybe that’s all spam anyway so I haven’t noticed… Or maybe on the web interface ad blockers get rid of that trash. I’d be horrified if they started actually making them e-mails and sending them over IMAP, though.

      God, yeah I don’t think they come through on imap. I don’t see them on mobile either, only on the web interface.

        Honestly, this reminds me that using an ad-blocker is kind of problematic in the sense that you will accidentally direct people to websites that have a bunch of ads without realizing what other people are going through. I mean, obviously I wouldn’t give up the ad blocker, it’s just unfortunate when you realize something is way worse for most people and you didn’t even notice.
