I think you're overblowing the difficulty of creating filters. It's one of those tasks that pays power-law dividends forever. Sure, I initially sat there for 3 hours making the filter list, and every week or two I have to spend 37 seconds adding a filter, but my inbox has zero emails, and the vast majority that hit my inbox are non-noise things I actually want to read or respond to. It certainly beats the daily sense of defeat a 100,000 unread bubble must instill daily. Inbox zero is luxurious and relaxing lifestyle - a plane of existence a lot of us have reached. Imagine no more stress. Join us. PS - I haven't gotten a spam call or text in ~6 months. There are filters for that too (3-layer Google Voice spam filter + Verizon spam filter + Samsung spam filter = nearly perfect filtering, with no false positives in a decade that I've been aware of)
