Outlook just asked me if I want to upgrade to bigger ads

In my opinion, this is not stupid. The way preferred by Microsoft is to mix the ads in with messages such that it's difficult to tell them apart.

If there's anything stupid here, it's Microsoft's decision that if you want the ads to be easily identifiable then you need to have them in your face, all the time.

If you don't like the way Outlook shows you ads then do not use Outlook.

Alternatively, vote for regulators who'll try and fix the problem.

Or pay to remove the ads, as they suggest in the link on that same prompt.

Do not use the _free_ Outlook (which is paid by ads)
