I must be in the extreme minority upon reading comments on email spam, as I almost never receive a spam message in my main gmail inbox that is truly spam and not something I'm getting an email for because I lazily opted-in to a mailing list or was put on one due to association with a product. Actual, oldschool spam (Nigerian princes, claim your prize etc) literally never gets to my inbox. Maybe I'm just not a popular person. Or maybe I've kept my email private enough that it doesn't get scraped for such things? I don't understand the discrepancy between my experience and so many others here.
