    IIT: People who’ve never used Gmail complaining about how it’s full of ads. They only appear in the “promotions” tab, which is where Gmail sends stuff that’s already borderline spam. In other words you don’t see ads unless you go looking for them.

      I use gmail a lot on my phone, and I have seen ads, but I’ve never seen an ad like that. My point was I was mildly irritated that it gave me a sex line ad. It made me feel angry for the trafficked sex workers probably running a majority of those lines. I generally would imagine Google to be more choosy about their adds. This ad felt icky, which mildly irritated me.

        I mean google is one of the companies that tracks you the most these days so it would be unusual for it to show you an ad for something you or someone with your ad tracking id haven’t shown any interest in the past.

        Just saying.

          Really? Everyone who sees ads for sex lines has shown Google they have interest in sex lines?
