Ask HN: Will the web's spam problem ever be solved?

- new_guy 5y agoIt has to be successful at some level, otherwise why would they keep sending it? So I don't think it will ever be solved because fundamentally it's a human issue, not a technological one. While people remain gullible the spammers will be there to take advantage.
- birtoise 5y agoNot while incentives for spamming others still exist. If corporations and governments are still seeing the internet as a way to maximize profits/popular approval, the spam will always be the norm.
