I think this is part of Google Gmail though?

See the ones at the top?

Yes, it's normal to see ads in the promotions section of Gmail. Gmail is monetised by ads.

Well... That's just annoying! But thank you! I'll stop stressing over it now...

You can get these down on the chrome store

I'm sure there's a way of hiding the promotions stuff from the inbox.

(I have never seen one, but I also almost never use a browser for Gmail and never use the Gmail app. If these things started impinging on me, i.e. coming to my attention at all, I'd stop using the Gmail address completely - it's not as if I don't have others).

I never see such ads neither in Chrome on Windows 10, nor in Mailplane on macOS, nor in the GMail app on Android, nor in the GMail app on my wife's iPhone. So there must be a way to remove them, though I can't remember what I did to get rid of them (or, in fact, whether I actually did anything at all).

Now I have seen ads in the Android Gmail app, but only in the promotions section. And to me "promotions" basically equals ads.

Same here, mostly because I accidently set it up only for here. Of "promotions" - sometimes with the moto sales, but that is to give my attention to other products they sell.

Go into your Gmail settings, choose your Gmail account, go to inbox categories, and uncheck promotions.

If you still want the promotions, but not the ads, then at the bottom of the settings page that @Dannydet indicated, keep promotions checked but uncheck enable bundling of top email. Personally I have everything turned off.
