Sensational Titles to get upvotes. I am not getting what the biggest issue here is. Is it okay to get free email with ads in it but injection of ads to an otherwise empty space for free video calls that are crisp and very high quality with some ads is a deal-breaker?
A lot of people think running things is free. We all need to realize that maintaining the code base, running the servers etc all cost money. Companies are in the business of making money and if they can make money while providing a free service why not?
Those of us who are not happy with it, should just pay for it to offset the costs :)
