Out of curiosity, do you feel the same about email? When I look in my gmail spam bucket it's insane how much stuff I never see (thankfully!).
On the other hand, I frequently get obvious spam emails in my inbox, including from one address that I weekly received a spam email. It was a very obvious email (“increase the size of your member with this one quick trick”), and each time I would mark it as spam, but Gmail never realized that that address was spam. I eventually just had to create my own filter.
I’m not sure what’s up with it, but they need to rethink their approach.
There are issues with mail servers being blacklisted and they can't send emails to me. But there's actual visibility to that. You can look up mail server IP's and get to the root issue of why you're blacklisted.
Honestly I'd rather the government focus on the endless junk mail I receive to my home than anything. I spend more time sorting that rather than hitting decline on my phone.
There doesn't seem to be any way to tell Gmail that this email is fine, in fact it's coming from me.
Meanwhile countless horrific obvious spam gets through to my gmail just fine, much of it straight to my Inbox.
