> As a gmail user, I 100% appreciate keeping my inbox extremely clean. Google's spam filter is a welcome addition.

Interesting how different things are for different users. Gmails spam protection isn't working at all for me. Confirmation emails from reputable sources get into spam, while really obvious spam messages get into my inbox. I mean.. really, really obvious messages. With "dfdf" a thousand times at the end just to make the message longer. Or these porn-bitcoin-scam messages.

It's ridiculous.



I spoke to somebody the other day about highly targeted ads that come from snooping into too much private information. The lady was happy about it because it helps her find things that she likes faster.

It's just interesting how perspectives differ on this type of thing.


I wish spam filters would automatically move all marketing/newsletters to spam


They sort of do, if you opt into Gmail's tabs feature.
