Too bad some product manager had to ruin it by adding ads to those emails. Another revenue opportunity and a way to promote USPS things.

I don't think promoting revenue this way is necessarily bad. I'd much prefer this then the cost of postage going up which mandates everyone to contribute to the USPS operating expenses rather than those who choose to purchase products through their ads under their own volition.

Not everyone; just those that use their services. Which seems like exactly the people that should be paying more if the services cost more.
