The quality of spam has deteriorated.

Yes, you read that right. There was a time when spam mail had some quality. Being a user of the world wide web for nearly a decade now, I've seen a lot of spam. If my memory serves me right, most of the spam I received had a specific subject, detailed information on what the person/company is offering, and an option of unsubscription (despite the fact that I had never subscribed in the first place). Mails like "Free Tablet PC for you now!" and "Claim your Complimentary $250 Gift Card!" were well presented, and even had contact information.

But now, all the spam I get is filled with random words. Spammers have lost direction. Take a look:

This is totally senseless spam. The whole purpose of spam is lost. What has the world come to?
