Is anyone else getting dozens of spam messages every day claiming they won some prize? I blame DOGE for leaking my private email address

    Not lately. My gmails Spam sections mostly have legitimate marketing and news emails that idiots have apparently reported as spam instead of just unsubscribing from.

      How can you distinguish between “legitimate marketing” and some phishing email that looks like marketing material with a tracked unsubscribe link? Clicking on that unsubscribe link just lets them know email is active and its value has just been increased
