Yep, I'm the opposite of you. I get almost zero true "spam" to my Gmail account. Maybe 1-2 messages a month.

Whereas quite a few of these quasi-spam marketing emails from a company that I once had some interaction with. The worst is hotels - you stay at 10 hotels during the course of a trip, then you get added to 10 email lists for the rest of your life.




You might not get much spam delivered to your Gmail inbox, but that doesn't stop Gmail from being the largest _source_ of actually delivered spam.


I have a Gmail account I opened in the early days of Gmail and stopped using on a regular basis when I got my own domain around mid-2000's. Whenever I occasionally check in, I always find heaps of spam. Many I've tried unsubscribing for and still get the mail--obviously Gmail's filter doesn't take into account senders I've flagged time and time again as spam.
