Do you have more info on why you believe this?
My experience has been that Google successfully filters spam from my Inbox, consistently.
I get (just looked) 30-40 spam messages a day. I've been on Gmail since the invite-only days, so I'm in a lot of lists I guess..
Very Very rarely do they get through the filter.
I also check it every couple of days to look for false-positives, and maybe once a month or less I find a newsletter or automated promo email in there for something I was actually signed up for, but never anything critical.
- tjoff 4y agoJust see what gets through and more importantly which valid mails are being marked as spam. It is evident that they haven't got a clue. So, how do they "solve" it? By using the "reputation" of your IP addresses and trust that more than the content of the email.
- ketzo 4y agoYou’re talking way too hyperbolically to take seriously. Yes, GMail does, in fact, “have a clue.” They do pretty well. They’re not perfect, and I have specific complaints, but to pretend they’re totally clueless and inept discredits anything else you’re saying.
- tjoff 4y agoJust as saying that machine learning can identify spam discredits anything else ex-reddit CEO says. I'm sure gmail have a clue from their point of view, but those doesn't align with mine (nor, I'd argue, most of their users). Their view also as a coincidence happens to strengthen their hold on the market but who cares?
- zimpenfish 4y agoI've got 6 mails in my gmail spam (in the last month) - 2 of them are not spam which is about normal for what I see (30-40% non-spam.)
- tjoff 4y agoYet most people don't seem to ever look in their spam folder. Conclusion: gmail has a great spam-filter! :(
