Recruiter emails are to real job opportunities as “You may already have won the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes” letters are to actual lottery winnings.
Some are good, but random recruiter emails do seem much more likely to be ridiculously bad - like lowly-paid and probably high-stress contractor “opportunities” for stacks I’ve never touched in a random city halfway across the country that I have no interest in moving to or commuting to.
I gotta say, as annoying as recruiter emails can be, too many of them is the very definition of “a great problem to have.”
If they represent real job options but you happen to have better ones, sure.
But if they’re truly irrelevant - requiring skills you don’t have and never claimed to have - they truly have no value to you and waste your time.

Giving a third party the right to run code against every email I get is too high a price to pay for convenience, IMO.
I’m already trusting Gmail (foolishly or not). I just use their spam filters.
