Ask HN: Why is spam email still a thing?
by kisamoto on Hacker News.
If you’ve had an email account for a while you probably know what I’m talking about. Open your spam folder and undoubtably it’s filled with poorly written and worded emails still advertising “free sex”, “you’ve won”, “open for a gift card” or otherwise. These emails are so bad and there is almost no chance of them finding their way through a spam filter, why are people still sending them?
