Get rid of streaks

Streaks.... why? Let me turn this off. First it was on my phone, now on my desktop? It's stupid. Allow me to turn it off.

Yes, we launched a fun way to reward our users for reading and organizing your emails, but you do not have to participate (not forced). Friendly reminder to always check your Settings. You can disable Streaks by going to the three dots "..." in the left hand navigation and then Your Streaks. Thanks.

    I don't need or want my email keeping track of streaks, challenges, or giving me badges for checking my email. What a silly feature to have! Unnecessary and unwanted.

    I'm not a child. I just want to read my emails, not get stupid celebratory popups telling me what a good boy I am for reading them.

    Please allow us to disable the new email gamification that highlights streaks, etc. It is so stupid and irritating that I'm considering finally getting rid of this account, which I've had for over 20 years.

    Stop changing stuff just to change stuff. Nobody wants streaks or achievements for their email. Nobody wants half of their inbox screen to be wasted on stupid UI nonsense like rounded edges. I use yahoo mail so that I can view my emails and that's it. It's incredible how there hasn't been a good change to the interface in a decade or more

    Remove, or give the option to turn off, the "Congratulations" log in streak pop up. It's annoying and STUPID!

    horrible thing. we use email for the email, not as a game. give us an option to remove streaks. it ****** me off and makes me want to NOT USE THE APP OR THE web Interface. Obviously your thought behind this was to increase people using it to view more ads... Complete opposite effect.

    I opted out of streaks, why am I getting pop-up's about back-to-school 'challenges'.

    This product is really turning into something unusable.

    I dislike Gmail, but this is quickly becoming worse.
