minus-squareJadenSmith@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up20·2 years agoYes. They have always been a part of Gmail. Even back when Gmail was invite only they implemented ads (one of my accounts is from 2004).

minus-squareClipboards@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down1·2 years agoYes they’ve always been a thing in the promotions/else tabs, anyone who says they aren’t around simply hasn’t clicked those tabs or registered they existed (in fairness, everything in that tab is generally an ad)
