> Email ... carries more abuse & noise than actual signal. Really? That is not my experience at all. There was a span of years where spam got bad, early-2000's IIRC, but my email is now mostly signal and has been since since at least 2010. I think this is partially due to better spam filters, e.g., gmail was better than average when it went public in 2007ish, but also due to the rising popularity of DKIM and SPF. I see the abuse and noise out there on twitter and in comments sections, etc. I don't see it with email. I know people with big public personalities do get hate email and whatnot, but I thought for the average person, email was kind of a solved problem.
