Let's be honest, it's also a big way they build data on you and show you targeted ads so I'm sure it pays for itself without direct revenue.

They do not scan the contents of mail for advertising purposes (consumer as of 2? years ago, and for paid gsuite I don't recall them ever doing this).

Just wondering how you would know that they do or do not do that?

Does that include those of us lucky enough to sign up prior to them actually charging for g-suite and being grandfathered into. Free plan for up to 10 users?

My limit of 50 users laughs at your puny 10.

(I believe the original limit was 100, so someone who signed up in time for that can now come along and laugh at us.)
