Fails, because most end users are clueless, and many of the rest are
spammer sockpuppets gaming the system.

...which is what everyone already said, including me.

To put it another way: If someone could come up with an anti-spam
system that worked, but only for people who have (say) skills
equivalent to a CS degree, that might not be of any use to 90% of
people, but it'd work just fine for me.

And you'd have to code it yourself, because the market is too small.

Did you miss the free software revolution of the last 20 years? There
are thousands of free software projects that require CS knowledge to
be useful.
