Agreed. I have several web sites with publicly visible email addresses and they don't get much spam.
The spam I get is rather mis-targeted. For a while I was getting spam for equipment which would be useful were I a bulk producer of olive oil. "We have 15 years of experience in the research, development and production of automatic edible oil filling equipment...." There are the usual fake financing deals: "We’ve pre-approved your business for financing..." Whatever sends that crap doesn't look at the web site at all.
When I get spam from Gmail or Outlook accounts, I report it, so they will get a strike against their account. I don't hear from those people again.
All other spam is so obviously bogus that simple filters are dumping it into a junk folder. Most of it seems to be phishing emails. "You have won a (some tool)..." seems to be popular this week.
