Ask HN: Is Spam getting worse or is Gmail getting worse?

Over the past couple of months I've noticed that number of spam emails landing in my inbox has increased by quite a bit. I keep a very tidy inbox, so it's pretty easy for me to notice them and mark them as spam. But I'm curious: is Google just getting worse at detecting spam, or is the spam somehow evolving? For example, I just got this email: Sender: william_brown_318@rofopifj.dravixa.space Subject: the wagon is in The body contains tons of literal HTML tags that weren't parsed into actual HTML. Not sure if it was sent as a text mime-type or what, but it takes all of 2 whole seconds for me to mentally note that this is spam. How is this getting through more often these days?
