...if you're getting spam, then you signed up for it. I know this because I use gmail and don't get spam, or at least if I do it's always automatically filtered so I never ever see it.

Maybe it's more a problem with how you use email if that's an issue you have.

Sorry but it's not so simple. I have two GMail accounts. One I use primarily as work/tech email list related stuff and there I get close to zero spam. The other is connected to a Youtube channel where I used to post gaming content and in general I use the second GMail account for gaming-related purposes. While it has improved somewhat recently for quite a while I was getting around 10-20 spam emails a day. Perhaps you can argue that I signed up for the spam by giving my email address to others. But the spam was clearly unrelated to anything I had ever requested.

Of course my 'anecdata' is no better than yours.

You are aware there's a button for marking emails as spam?

Yes, and perhaps I missed the OP's point. I never said the spam I got did not get put in the spam folder.
