Anything you do on google is training their AI for free. Do you think they're offering you free email out of the kindness of their hearts?

  Don't they sell ads in the web UI like many other free email providers do?

    And they sell the business accounts; because so many people are used to gmail for their personal accounts, quite a few companies are paying for that.

    I use gmail but I never see ads because I always use a non-Google mail client. (Thunderbird on Windows and Linux), SimpleEmail on Android.

      You're an edge case and a rounding error. Enough people use the web UI and the Gmail app that they likely don't care about other users.
