Is Spam getting worse or is Gmail getting worse?

Question

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 inThe 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?

They seem to have buried the report spam and report phishing functions in right-click menus. They used to be very easy to hit. I'm sure that is reducing signals to the spam algorithm.
