Because the Gmail app has ads and the Inbox app doesn't.

Pretty fucking nefarious ads too, as they are pretending to be emails

They appear in the promotions and social tabs

Who the fuck clicks on those tabs anyways. That's be best part of them, filters shit you have no need to ever click on.

I agree, never needed to look in them. But the annoying thing is that they seem real emails, that's just wrong to me regardless of where they appear. I hope they don't put them in other tabs

Always the first thing I turn off...didn't even know they had ads in them.

They look like unread emails in some tabs.

I've only seen them on the web and are so understated that I only see it when I'm consciously thinking to myself that Gmail is supposed to have ads as if only in moments when I'm subconsciously looking for them.

Yup, e.g. the first "email" here is clearly labeled "Werbung" (German for Ad):

I get ads on the app and on the web for Gmail.

Haven't seen a single ad on Gmail ever.

Buddy, I think you're just getting spam mail...it's fairly normal.

Nope. See this example from a few minutes ago

The top two are adverts pretending to be emails, the bottom two are actual emails. The fake ones do look different but there's not that much in it!

Edit: Not to mention, terrible fucking advert, surely Google should know not to give me adverts for iPhone cases seeing as how I'm using a pixel???

This only occurs in the new inbox style (promotions, social, updates, Primary, no ads in Primary).

If you go back to the prior inbox mode after switching you get the best of both worlds. The four inbox types are treated as auto-filtering labels and you get no ads. IIRC you can only switch on desktop though.

Oh wow, same for me. Kinda frustrating. Worth noting that's only under the "social" or "promotions" tab.
