Ask HN: Gmail having spam problems for anybody else?

This week I had 7 spam E-Mails actually hitting my Gmail inbox. Obviously reported them all and they are still coming through. Now the theme changed from FedEx to Viagra and it keeps coming. I was with this service for 15 years and can not recall a year I had as many spam Mails hitting my inbox in the whole year. Is this an isolated incident or does anybody else have problems. I can not find anything reporting this so maybe I fucked up and spilled my address to one of the more skilled networks.

Something radically changed for me 7-10 days ago, wherein certain non-spam but clearly not-inbox-worthy emails are now consistently hitting the Inbox, often with the "Important according to Google magic" flag set.

Examples: A clearly promotional email from a manufacturer announcing new products, a special offer from a hotel I stayed at once 7 years ago, every single breaking news email from the Seattle Times.

FWIW, I'm not seeing proper spam by the old-school definition breaching the Inbox (Viagra, replica Rolex, et al). I guess that's good.

Still feels like something significant broke very recently, but tbh I'd already lost faith in Gmail's classification after seeing how many genuine emails end up in Spam the last 3-5 years. It's particularly painful to watch in light of how far other applications of ML have advanced since ole' Gmail was state-of-the-art. In other words: shouldn't Google (disclosure: my former employer) be much, much better at this?

Nope, not any changes here, but I'm on the paid thing, Workspaces or whatever they call it this month. I've seen other people writing about it, but I'm not seeing any misses at all.

Yes, quite a few emails which are exceedingly clearly spam.

And yet we run into situations where customers gmail us and we can't reply. Gmail is not email.
