I suspect so. I&#x27;ve noticed the same uptick in spam into my inbox. I disabled the auto-image-loading as a result, but haven&#x27;t seen an improvement yet.<p>I also have a feeling that the &quot;report spam&quot; button loses its effectiveness after awhile. I went on a report-spam-spree a few months ago, but Google seemed to ignore half of my reports and still delivers those senders to my inbox. Frustrating.
