spam is so fucking gay, i used to get almost no spam on my hotmail account and i was like whoa this kicks ass but now i get about 500 spam emails a day, most of which go to my inbox so i have to delete a ton just to find normal messages. it sucks because it happened randomly so i don't understand how i went from getting almost no spam to in 1 day getting a thousand messages a week.
