This Gmail trick helped me eliminate 80% of the spam in my inbox

I’m sure there are people inundated with more email spam than me, but I also suspect that as a tech journalist, I get more than the average person. Every few hours, I need to delete dozens of messages to keep my inbox under control — many of them unsolicited story pitches. For a peek behind the curtain, some of these are from agencies that not only don’t know me, but clearly don’t understand (or care about) my coverage specialties. I’m not the one you go to for reviewing a pet hair filter or hyping up a new music video, if any of them are paying attention right now.
