Whats with all the Spam getting to Inbox?

Past few weeks, it would seem like Yahoo just stopped trying. I'm getting tons of spam, and lots of it is getting into my inbox, including some obvious fishing e-mails and filth. Whats going on with Yahoo, is it time to just move over to gmail and be done with it?

Update:

I know. I've been using Yahoo mail for over a decade. It's a recent change, that they seem to be letting more spam through the filter.

    I've been fortunate, so far, in that I've only had a little come through but basically NOTHING should be allowed to come in and I, too, have gotten several obvious phishing messages and things from legitimate businesses that are spam....

    Go on Inbox page> Options> Mail Options> Spam and see how your filters are set up.

    Chose to only get mail from your contacts

    Never open, reply or unsubscribe to spam.

    80% of all email sent out is spam, so its a huge problem
