Add another anecdote to the anecdata pile. Past three months, McAffee and north american shopping chain spam is breaking through Gmail filters. And reporting as spam does not help. I assume they've been somehow building Google reputation for the spam accounts.

Similarly I've been getting smashed with gmail spam, google calendar spam and google drive spam for around 6 months now after never previously getting any and despite reporting most of it.

Yeah the drive spam started for me last year or the year before. It took a break but in the last couple months has returned with a vengeance.
I had the Slack google drive integration and I needed to mute it because it was couple doc invites every few hours.

I've been experiencing the same. Here are a bunch of egregious spam mistakes we collected from different people to illustrate the problem: https://www.surgehq.ai/blog/are-the-spammers-winning-failure...

I occasionally have spam that slips through Gmail's filters, but when I explicitly mark it as spam it disappears nothing of the same type reappears again.

On the other hand over last few months majority of post from sma few of private Google Groups, I'm member of, keep getting wrongly clsssified as spam.
I don't know if it's related either.

Agreed, same experience, all with the same format, primarily from some sort of outlook.com domain.

Ironic, since Microsoft is the worst (in my experience) at being a giant black hole to emails sent from an otherwise well-configured (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, non-SBL-listed IP, &c) but not major SMTP host.

Been having the same issue on my old email. a LOT of spam going past the filter.

I disagree. Prior to Gmail i used to get thousands of spam email everyday
Now everything is filtered. Barely get any.
The added benefit is I don't get any tech calls for help from my parents who also don't end up clicking random spam and wondering why bad things are happening
Now I get something from McAffee Pratners(sic) every other day warning my computer is about to expire. Back in May I kept winning things from Home Depot and Lowes; and gmail would categorize it as "forums".
No idea if its related, just odd.
