You either need a marketing genius who can persuade everyone to convert

speculate about the former, but I don't see the latter. It won't
decrease spam unless widely adopted, so there is no gain, only cost.

Advenge is a scheme of the second type of those two types.
The advantages for the early adopters include:
* control over what is allowed into the in-box, meaning easier of
unsubscription from mailing lists
* no more false positives caught in spam folder
* no spam folder at all
* income stream
It immediately decreases spam for those who are using it; and does not
decrease spam for everybody. I believe we have been over many times
that insisting that a solution apply to everyone instantaneously is
like trying to teach a pig to sing.
