What this WIRED article tells us is that the tightening of anti-spam filtering software is increasingly interfering with legitimate emails. It seems that the mere mention of the word "free" in an email triggers most spam filters, causing those emails to be dropped.
There must be a better way to stop spam. If more email marketing people would engage in permission email marketing, that would certainly help the credibility of email as a viable communications medium. But the real solution is going to have to be a combination of technical (redesigning the SMTP protocol to only accept trusted, verified email senders) and economic approaches (the "Spam. Don't Buy It." campaign).

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
–The Health Ranger, Mike Adams
