Bizarrely, I also find Gmail's spam algo is actually oversensitive to marketing emails from companies these days, which I never thought was something I would complain about. But like you said its super annoying when I actually want the emails.

Seems like we had the opposite problem 10ish years ago. But now the pendulum has swung a bit too far in the other direction.

Ultimately most of the spam I get these days is actually from individuals doing low volume cold outreach from personal email addresses...not companies sending bulk. The new gmail unsubscribe feature works great for marketing emails but is worthless against cold email spam -- which somehow rarely ever lands in spam.

Microsoft Outlook has been flagging their own marketing emails as spam for me lately. I'm not sure if I ought to be impressed or disappointed.

Maybe because I and others mark them as spam?
