Gmail still has advertising, it just is targeted by the standard google way of "hoovering up" your data from across the web and the rest of your google profile. Not by scanning your emails. Google's blog post says https://blog.google/products/gmail/g-suite-gains-traction-in... :

> Consumer Gmail content will not be used or scanned for any ads personalization after this change. This decision brings Gmail ads in line with how we personalize ads for other Google products. Ads shown are based on users’ settings. Users can change those settings at any time, including disabling ads personalization. G Suite will continue to be ad free.
