I’m baffled by how Nextdoor keeps making it through Gmail. I feel like I’ve marked innumerable emails from them as spam over the years.

Maybe they are a major revenue source for Google?




Same for Salesforce.com emails.

I get so many spam emails with bounce addresses like jhvivisvhesnbg@aa85oc16gsbsm2ug.g8k1xdhfdya6f42b.jnwwym.8d-5df9reaw.um8.bnc.salesforce.com, and mark each one as spam. The filter never learns.


Google's inaction here seems to map directly to Cory Doctorow's definition of Enshittification [0].

I just last week re-listened to him describe the process again. It's pretty remarkable how well he nailed it (and how many companies it applies to).
