WTF happened? When Google bought Postini, the spam filter got awesome...
Somehow, in the last 12 months - google has been infecting my inbox with spam...
Whats funny is that MANY people used to have yahoo or hotmail dumpsters for spam/sign-ups etc... but now gmail is my spam dumpster, and protonmail is my pref.

EDIt: After thinking on it a sec.. I think I know whats up: Inboxing.
Recall how Friendster, HI5, tagged, etc "scaled" -- by being a stupid platform for you to effectively give your details and contacts to so they could scale. Lets not forget what v.01 social media was -- They were all spammers only harvesting email databases... which for ad rev is what built them
Clearly, Google is trying to harvest more ad-rev through killing their spam filter.
It's actually worse than that. They haven't been catching their outgoing spam, either -- I receive tons of spam from fake Gmail accounts these days. So glad that we've all spent billions of hours clicking on buses and traffic lights to convince Google we're humans, when it clearly does nothing to stop botting.
