> People don’t fight spam. I rarely if ever get spam in my email. Spam filters work well enough. Whitelisting is also available. Most all email clients support smart folders that contain emails only from contacts. First of all. Not everybody has the desire to became "proficient" in inbox management. Secondly, if you take a step back and reconsider what you're saying: the lengths you have to go through is insane. Imagine you had to deal with this with every online service you're using whether its messaging platforms or otherwise. > Providers can, but are incentivized to not read their customers’ email, otherwise they would go out of business. That's a very naive assumption. There was proof that ISPs in the UK did that some years ago and probably still do. And what exactly do you think is Gmail's business model? Or any other supposedly "free" email service?
