Regular spam isn't really a problem.
For work email, various salespeople reaching out to sell things, often things completely unrelated to my job title, are highly annoying. I report all of them to spam to Google and block their emails, but the approaches of modern salespeople are increasingly indistinguishable from those of mass spammers (burner domains, "prewarming", multiple scheduled human looking followups, etc.)
Things I do intentionally subscribe to (such as airline offers) tend to switch their send-from address or title or something else every so often and are no longer caught by filters. At some volume, this becomes an occasional annoying toil to deal with. Note, I don't use Gmail, unlike ~90-95% of people in my circles.

- apparent 1y agoI can't understand why follow-ups to emails I have marked as spam in my Mac's Mail application end up in my inbox. It seems that if I go to the gmail interface and mark as spam there, this doesn't happen. But why doesn't gmail get the hint when Mac Mail moves a message from inbox to spam?
