I just noticed something weird today in my Gmail account.<p>I'm used to getting a lot of spam. My e-mail address has been the same for years and I regularly post it on many websites without obfuscating it. Therefore I get a lot of spam.<p>Gmail deletes messages from your spam folder when they are 30 days old. Therefore, by looking at the unread count of the spam folder I can know how many spam emails I received in the last month.<p>At one point I remember the count was around 50,000. I think at one point it was also 10,000. Today I just noticed it's 1,557.<p>What's going on? Has there been a sudden worldwide decrease in spam?
