Gravatars: why publishing your email's hash is not a good idea

I read over every single spam (or at least the subject and first few lines of the body, via gmail) before deleting.

Yes, it's a lot. And yes, as Batsu said, I'm numb to the pain.

When I check my GMail spam folder, I get spams at about the rate of one per minute these days.

Filtering those manually became unworkable for me years ago.

I maybe see a spam in my inbox once a day. It goes up and down, as spammers find workarounds and then Google fix them.

The email address I use is 10+ years old though.

I would consider that level of effort (and numbness) a "problem"; I'm especially curious how "no problem" natrius deals.

How many do you get per day? I get about fifty.
