I’ve noticed gmail getting worse lately too. Hotmail as well, and I think even much more. I’m not sure what’s happening and wonder if it’s just spammers being smarter. I’ve had gmail since a few months after launch and spam seems worst this last year. Today I got two spam messages in my inbox offering to eliminate my energy bill. And I’ve had OTP codes sent to spam. This is particularly risky as my banks and pretty much everything are pushing paperless. And I had a mortgage company that wouldn’t ever send paper and was completely digital.

> I’m not sure what’s happening and wonder if it’s just spammers being smarter. The issue is more that spammers are moving forward and finding creative ways to abuse systems but most regular users aren't spending time on improving their posture. I found the statistics collected by BIMI Radar really illuminating. The state is really bad and it's certainly not helping with the spam: https://www.bimiradar.com/no-top-plc https://www.bimiradar.com/no-top-plc Ignoring the BIMI part, only 2.3% of domains do the actual minimum they should.
