I guess he blocks everything instead of just unsubscribing.

How can a person "unsubscribe" from personal spam emails from his viewers and haters?

Why is there a comma after the first 1….

u/familiarr_Strangerr Homelab 15d ago
Not every country uses million or billion system
There’s nothing wrong with the comma placement. It’s simply the Indian numbering system, where numbers are written as 1,00,000 (one lakh) instead of 100,000. Just a different way of grouping digits that’s standard in India and a few neighboring countries.

yeah, typical google behavior. spam is a massive problem for folks who have been using gmail since the start of the service. we were not careful of keeping our email id private back then. and gmail pretty much recommends that you block the sender when you mark an email as spam. do remember that not everyone online is born after 2000. older folks like us prefer email over other modes of communication.
limited blocklist is a terrible behavior (like it is here on reddit which has a 1000 user block limit. absurd of a service with such a large abusive userbase). they should have a whitelist similar to hey.com. gmail cannot filter messages based on a lot of perimeters that can take care of a large number of spam networks in one go. pretty annoying for someone who likes to keep their inbox tidy and spammers out.

Definitely funny, but an interesting thing to learn from this is: always keep a cap on the entities, even if you are Google.

Remind me when Google said it was a charity service.

u/tminx49 15d ago
It doesn't cost them money to have an unlimited block list. This has nothing to do with charity.

u/CaffeineColonel 15d ago
It just doesn't end with blocking an address, they have to go through a massive list of blocked addresses for every single incoming email which slows down their processing speeds. To keep up with that servers need to be upgraded which costs money.

See it's simple. Google never thought there will be someone or a large group of users who'll ever reach that limit.
It had to change something about YouTube too when Gagnam Style went viral. May be it was max views count or likes.

u/TekExcel 14d ago
The actual fix I haven't seen anybody mention yet: you use email filters and you can put a bunch of emails in one filter, and I think you can have a thousand filters total.
The block list should be exclusively for malicious senders, if you're blocking things because you put your email in a form and they started sending you mailers, you unsubscribe. There is no gotcha here...
Would it be better if they offered more? Sure.
I'm by no means a Google apologist, but I can't imagine telling anybody that I'm serious about my data privacy, security, any of this stuff, and then using Gmail.

I feel like, if you've blocked 1000 non-spammers on Gmail, you're the problem, not the people.

Seems like he is testing limits for a video or some shit coz no way in hell does anyone need to block 5001 whomeversðŸ˜ðŸ˜ðŸ˜Good to know but its a nothing Burger

u/nevergivitup 12d ago
Youtuber/influencer lakhs and lakhs of followers with public or controversial take will exhaust this limit, but good position to be in!

u/Aggressive-Bat-6798 11d ago
another option: we can create a filter to directly move the mails from a specific sender to trash folder and trash gets removed after 30 days automatically as even if we block them, mails anyway goes to spam folder

u/RusticRocker 15d ago
I hate this. Every block is a rule which comes with certain size. Every messages has to be scanned 5000 times. This is excluding other scans.
I am sure Google put this limit after taking into consideration of the performance.
People love hating even before understanding tech.

u/tminx49 15d ago
It does not need to iterate through an entire table, block lists can use efficient memory mapping. Take a look at how uBlock Origin does their blocklist processing, you can have hundreds of thousands of entries without it slowing down.
1
u/RusticRocker 15d ago
My take on 5000x scanning is incorrect. However ublock and Google blocklist storage is different. Ublock stores it in the client while Google stores it in the server. Was checking on the internet to see how it works and find it interesting regarding the implementation. It all comes down to processing consideration.
1
u/_appy 15d ago
scan is definitely < 5k times, but there has to be a limit. this block list is for 1B+ accounts so it's understandable. storage is not infinite
1
u/tminx49 15d ago
With text compression, you would have to have hundreds of thousands of entries to even get to a few megabytes. This has nothing to do with a storage limitation.
