TBF I have both a gmail account and a paid-for email account that I use extensively. I haven't migrated everything away from gmail primarily because of inertia - recreating all my workflows outside of gmail is probably a couple solid weekends of effort, which is way more than $50 worth of my time, and as I don't use the gmail web interface (or the gmail apps), I never see ads anyway.
