I have the opposite problem recently where a very common class of spam (usually "you have won") just slips straight into my inbox no matter how many times I flag it. It looks so obviously like spam it's quite shocking it doesn't get picked up.

I gave up on my Gmail over a year ago due to these emails. Flagging does nothing, they still come in.

Ended up switching to my own domain and while there’s still a few places which don’t let me change my email, most things weren’t very difficult to switch over. It did take a long time since I did it organically for the most part.

I am considering doing the same thing. Do you end up hosting it via Gmail or is there a provider that you go with? I am looking for something that doesn't have too crazy of a limit, have iOS/Android support and allows *@domain.name to go to the same inbox.

Used Hey for Domains for a year and change. Ended up switching to Fastmail fairly recently and creating flows similar to Hey using filters and labels.

Fastmail has been absolutely great so far, no complaints. Powerful filter/rule engine, the ability to choose folder or label systems for your mail, a great app but also IMAP/DAV access for inter-compatibility, and tons more. I haven't played around too much with a bunch of the other things it offers (calendar, files, notes, etc) but for mail and contacts, at least, it's been solid.

I have a wildcard setup for vlad.gg so all emails go to my inbox, with specific aliases set up that get auto-labeled using filters. I also have wildcards set up for various other domains and then on a family domain, I have aliases that redirect emails to their own personal inboxes (on Outlook/Hotmail FWIW). All super easy to set up.

Protonmail will let you point a custom domain at them and deliver to the same mailbox as your protonmail e-mail, starting with their lowest subscription tier (which I personally would have signed up for anyway to support them). Product experience is pretty good. I don't disclose that address to many people, so I can't vouch for the spam filtering.

I have one of these in my inbox every single day and it is so incredibly frustrating! I've banned the entire phrase using a filter but definitely not ideal

I've been getting multiple of these per day. Nearly identical to one another, super spammy text and from obvious low quality email addresses. Reporting them as spam diligently doesn't seem to do improve anything.

My guess is that the problem OP is having is a reaction to this older problem. I did notice that one of the really obvious, persistent categories of spam started actually going to spam pretty recently.

I have both some extremely obvious false negative (garbage content, title which is obviously spam, phishing related address) and a lot of false positive including some which hard extremely hard to understand (daily email with always the same title and from the same address - one randomly ends up in the spam folder).

At this point, I think Google is just intentionally sabotaging Gmail.
