TIL you can train AI to sort my junk email by just marking stuff spam for a week

I was drowning in spam emails every morning, like 50 to 60 junk messages cluttering my inbox. I tried filters and block lists but they missed half the junk. Then a buddy told me to just spend 5 minutes a day marking everything as spam for a whole week. I did that religiously, marking every single unwanted email from newsletters to scam offers. By day 5 the AI caught on and started auto-sorting almost all of it. Now I get maybe 2 or 3 spam emails a week instead of a flood. Has anyone else found that simple trick actually works better than fancy email tools?

Nah, that just trains them to block stuff you might actually want later.

Isn't that just my luck, I block spam and still end up with a full inbox of junk anyway?
