Google, which is always looking for new ways to monetize its services, has recently decided to overhaul the way ads are displayed in Gmail. In fact, many users have noticed an increase in the number of ads in their inbox. This seems to be of particular interest to those who use the web interface.

Advertising among our emails

As if the ad at the top of the offer wasn’t enough, Google decided to be more generous by inserting ads among our emails. Of course, many people complain about this change. When confronted with user concerns on Twitter, the official Gmail account responded somewhat evasively while linking to a support page explaining how the ads work.

It is important to note that despite the many complaints on Twitter, this may be a small scale test. After all, a few thousand affected users out of several million accounts are a drop in the ocean. However, the future will determine if Google decides to roll out this new advertising tactic to all Gmail users.
