We have a great example to see why - email has existed for decades and neither spam or abuse is a solved problem. Both waste years of manhours each day.
- teeray 4y agoBut… it is solved. I rarely ever see true spam in my inbox—-filters pick it up and sequester it.
- oneeyedpigeon 4y agoI think you must be in the minority. I just checked my gmail and emails #3 and #4 are both spam. And that's in Primary, not even Promotions or Social. A long time ago, it felt much better than this but it seems the spammers are slowly fighting back.
- Avamander 4y agoIt's an endless cat-and-mouse game. It might be true that people individually are not getting that much spam (on more modern platforms), but email is much more than gmail and in terms of volum a lot of spam still lands in people's inboxes (otherwise it wouldn't be done).
- unsupp0rted 4y agoI get 3 “Confirmation.CostSco” type of emails breaking into my inbox a day now.
