Why Google dislikes it so much?
Google is a machine. It doesn't like or dislike anything. The humans who work at Google can tune the machine a little bit, but they are vastly outnumbered by the data the machine has been learning from since it was built. For all intents and purposes the machine has become too big to steer. Accepting that fact will make life a little bit less frustrating.
It's worth remembering that, to the vast majority of people connected to the internet, email is little more than an authentication oracle. An email address is an identity. Users interact with email primarily to reset passwords and to collect receipts. Like everything else on the internet, email also comes with creepy advertising that learns from personal habits. It also lets you send and receive messages to other users. Just like every other website!
Humans sending messages to other humans are an insignificant fraction of the data passing through Google. Trying to influence the model based on so little data is pointless.
Maybe it's easier to stop thinking of Gmail as email. Philip -- Philip Paeps Senior Reality Engineer Alternative Enterprises _______________________________________________ mailop mailing list mailop@mailop.org https://list.mailop.org/listinfo/mailop
