Maybe someone can explain this to me: Since forever Gmail auto-organized my newsletter/commercial emails with the `Notification`/`Promotional` labels, skipping the inbox, without special filters like this one.
Then, by a year or so, more and more promotional/commercial emails appeared in my inbox, and nowadays I delete 10/20 of those emails from my inbox daily. I don't understand as it worked flawlessly before. So, what happened here? Google fucked up this functionality or there is more?
Thank you!
- 0x3f 1y agoI assume the people writing the emails responded by optimizing the content to pass the filter.
- achairapart 1y agoThat's a possibility. The thing is, I can't see a pattern. Even from the same provider, some mails are hitting my inbox, others are correctly filtered. It looks totally random and it's quite frustrating.

- hoistbypetard 1y agoEmail sending services now offer tips on how to evade the filters that apply those special labels. And if you buy the expensive version, they'll even help you test whether or not your edits were effective at that. So maybe google fucked it up, but I think it's more the result of a concerted effort to bypass it.
