- tyingq 10y agoSearch would be difficult as well though.
- CaptSpify 10y agoEven if that were true, that's not reason enough for me. Why can't they just display random ads on the side-bar? There's no reason they need to read my emails for that.
- whynotiwillte 10y agoBecause anonymized ads cost advertiser wayyyy less than targeted ones. so gmail profits would fall significantly
- CaptSpify 10y agoprofits falling != impossible to do There's no reason they couldn't still send targeted ads based on other user info. This is a choice gmail has to make between doing the right thing, and doing the profitable thing.
