the same problem if I was the only person who got that quantity of messages.

Reality is that you get that quantity of messages because of the fact of
bulk mailings, and hence bulk mailings are relevant -- at least to the
extent that reality is relevant.  :-)

To put it another way, if bulk mailing was eliminated, your spam
problem, along with everyone else's, would be eliminated.
