That thing effectively meant that you couldn't propose an actual solution to the SPAM problem that was fair for everybody, open source, etc. Instead Gmail went ahead and made one that is secret and hugely benefit them, people went to gmail because it actually worked, and yet some it is still linked to and considered a good thing.
I get plenty of spam in my Gmail inbox. Their filtering isn’t magic or perfect.
Worse, Gmail’s spam filter generates tons of false positives, and these are often the messages I want most: password resets, legit balance alerts from my bank.
