- pmlnr 9y agoGoogle didn't "solve" spam at all, they are just playing rough. The jail sentences for spam network operators, the the shift to ddos/mining/etc of botnets, and user awareness, bitten by spam helped, but not solved. You probably used a crappy provider, with no feedback loop for spam before.
- yoz-y 9y agoDid not help keeping the e-mail decentralized. They did help against the spam. Well, at least google did. Microsoft hotmail was doing spam filtering almost exactly the opposite way it should work for so long that I have completely given up on it.
