Lately, I’ve gotten more and more emails sent to my Gmail inbox folder with key phrases such as “confirmation receipt” (for something I never bought), “you’ve been chosen,” and “free.” While those words don’t signify a spam email 100% of the time, let’s be honest: They usually do. My luck isn’t that great, you know?
As someone who typically likes a “clean” inbox with few to no notifications unopened, getting junk emails kind of annoys me, honestly. When they’re so obviously spam, why aren’t they going to that folder?
I’m not the only one who’s been noticing that, over the last year or two, spam filters seem to be catching fewer bad emails. Lots of people have posted on Reddit and Twitter about experiencing the same issue.
