I don't think there are many spammers compared to, say, 2005. In 2005 you would get 100 spams to an unfiltered, widely published address, these days it is more

In 2005 you would get 100 spams to an unfiltered, widely published address, these days it is more like 2-5.
The continued lockdowns and protocol changes of gmail and yahoo are a sign of being overstaffed, "feature" oriented and yes, the attempt to shut down competition and the free exchange of mail.
- csunbird 6y agoI do not think so, I think the spammers are still out there, armed with cheap cloud email providers, but the "block by default" is putting a nice dent on them.
- user5994461 6y agoYou're lucky if you only get 2 spams a day. My parents are getting more like 20-50 a day on the email provided by a national ISP. It's getting impossible to read emails, too many. If it were not for them being used to their email address and me being lazy, I would move them off to gmail.
