Gmail is about to stuff shopping ads into your inbox
Google is testing shopping ads right in Gmail's Promotions tab, turning your inbox into a mini e-commerce space.

Google is testing showing large image ads right in Gmail's Promotions tab. When clicked, the ad expands into a product carousel like an e-commerce site.
Each product comes with detailed information including photos, prices, star ratings and featured promotions. Users still have to leave Gmail to complete a purchase on a retailer's website.
Compared to the old text ad style, the new format looks more like a banner and is much more noticeable. This has many people concerned that their email reading experience will be interrupted by distractions. Some users also complained that the Promotions tab became more cluttered and confusing.
If Google deploys it widely, Gmail will not only be a place to receive emails but also an involuntary "shopping mall". Dear readers, please watch more videos : AI Trash Cleaning | Hanoi 18:00
