I feel like it does too much magic with my inbox.
Much like social media, I don’t want some algorithm to selectively decide what messages I see and what I don’t. I want to be able to see All messages, in a chronological order.
Having concert tickets not arrive in my inbox that I need because some magic is happening due to the sender being a first time sender to me is just frustrating.
Unlike social media and opaque algos, you decide what goes to the feed, to the paper trail, who gets screened in and out, etc…
I’ve found it super useful, my email was a nightmare before.
It’s the complete opposite of what you’re describing.
On a funny note, I seem to recall a Dilbert strip with a spam filter that became sentient and started controlling the company by controlling the flow of email but I'm unable to find it at the moment ;)
