Actually, if you look at your spam a little closer, you will see that spam groups and spam laws have had a huge effect on the spam you get every day.
A large percentage of the spam you get now is as a result of spyware installs on end user PCs and fairly complicated server hacks. Commercial spammers are a dying breed, severely limited in their work because they have a harder and harder time getting landing pages that work and sponsors that are willing to take the heat. Even companies that have accepted huge levels of spam before have dropped out of the game because the return is no longer worth the hassle.
Check your spam, large amounts of it now are either pump and dump stocks or semi-lame attempts to get your to install their spyware so they can send more pump and dump stocks and share infections. I just checked 10 pages of stuff on spamarrest, and pretty much all of it was pdf spam (attempt infections).
