It's kinda weird. I remember switching to gmail because it had working spam blocking. It was basically all emails.
Nowadays my gmail inbox is virtually only advertisement. Advertisement from google, and various form of spam emails, mostly in the form of newsletters I've never signed up for.
Meanwhile my off-gmail inbox, an email address I have literally in my hacker news profile info as well as printed in plain text on my website, doesn't get a fraction of the spam.
