That’s probably because I’ve had a gmail account since 2008 and have 
never used it. So I forgot.
I’ve also had a Hotmail account since last century which I check 
whenever I start Firefox but never send mail from.
You wouldn’t think I earned my living in IT. Would you? :-D

Even with various software installed to block ads, the fact that certain 
sites are plastered with ads is still not a good thing.

It doesn't bother me, because I don't see them, which is the ultimate 
point when it comes to a user's personal experience with the 'net.
