Psychology of using the user as an element of protection from SPAM

There is a suspicion that Google in its system of protection against SPAM uses its users selectively, more loyal users are loading more.

In my mailbox, GMail has become more SPAM since I keep it open and check it without delay, with an increase in the number of incoming emails that can be seen on the tab. And this is despite the fact that the address of my mailbox has long been available all over the Internet and there have been no changes in this area over the past year, for sure.

In this way, more active mail users, in the person of me, train the anti-spam system in order that less active users receive less unwanted correspondence.

All of the above is an assumption and below I will try to find reasonable grains in this approach, and they definitely are:
- someone should give the mail server additional information about spam suspicious emails
- mail users are annoyed by incoming spam
- mail users do not like when letters go long
- those who actively use the mail have become accustomed to it and are ready to forgive small flaws

This whole situation is quite logically resolved by placing spam emails in the most active users and waiting for their response, whether they will click the “This is spam” button after reading the letter.
This solution reduces the irritation of a large number of ordinary users and reduces the delay required to check suspicious emails before the total mass of users read them.

And you did not observe the tendency to increase in SPAM with frequent views of the GMail box?
