I see this block every time I open my email. Is this a bug I'm facing or is this the new normal?

If I am not mistaken, there is a "don't show me this offer again" thingy somewhere.

But as others have mentioned, it is a free service. And most importantly, this free service does not collect your data or show targrted ads to make a profit off of you when you don't pay. It is truly free. I think being asked to pay for the service is extra okay because of this.

That's totally understandable. I simply didn't notice that thing before due to some external factors, hence the question.
