I don't use Gmail as I don't want to have ads in my inbox. Ads might have a place elsewhere but not in my daily work tool. I'm happy to pay Office 365 for the privilege of not having potential garbage advertised to me. One of my issues with advertising on the web is the tracking/stalking. I am okay with ads that are targeted based on the content of the current page as this does not require stalking me everywhere. My other issue is that highly targeted ads (to the individual) create an echo chamber. The thing is, after a day of work, I no longer want to see development-related ads. Give me cat food (or other generic products) instead. This is what I actually like about print & billboard ads in the real world - they're generic and actually make me discover new brands & products I haven't heard of before. Finally the problem with Adwords and similar online advertising is that there just isn't enough vetting nor review for them - there is a lot of spam, garbage products, etc. Print ads are much better as the publisher more or less takes responsibility for them, so they're doing their due diligence when choosing which ads to run. You don't have that on the web.
