The biggest problem with these tabs is that there is a very clear tab missing: Content/Editorial/News/

These are newsletters I've subscribed to that aren't promotional. Some are educational, some are local news and stories, some are curated content lists. I read them for the content. I want them to show up in my primary inbox by default or at least in a "Content" tab.

It's pure and simple mislabeling to wholesale throw them in the promotions bucket and cover them up with additional paid ads.

I think that there is so little legitimate news content in email and the offer emails masquerade as content, so it's impossible for a machine to tell them apart.

I'd rather go in there once a day and pull out the things I care about than have yet another tab or have offers in my primary inbox.

This inbox change has been my favorite gmail feature since using the service back when it was invite only.

There is a ton of legitimate content being regularly sent through e-mail. Most of it isn't targeted it at you and much of it is local in nature.

If it's difficult for Google to ascertain who's promotional and who's not, create a system of evaluation for publishers to be certified and re-added to the primary list. Seems simple enough.
