I also think this also depends on when you signed up for gmail. my gmail account is pretty old, no ads, with no ad-blocker. but my gf's gmail account is littered with ads & I would assume my burner accounts too, if I didn't use a an ad-blocker.

I just checked a very old account and the theory that old accounts don't display ads is false. The account I looked at is older than the year 2007.

Indeed, my account is 2004 and has the usual ads sans adblocker. They're still not obstrusive though.
