...a couple days back and ever since then my yahoo email account had just been filled with spam for everything. Grounded shoes, blankets, Lazy boy chairs, and so on. Anyone else get a boost in shopping spam?
New iPhone update installed...

That sounds like a yahoo issue. My yahoo email has had serious spam issues off and on for a long time.
I doubt it is related to the iPhone update.

Prior to the update Yahoo caught all the spam BS. That fold still catches 90 percent but now there seems to be leakage. I’ll fool with settings later.

It’s possible that the update affected the way Yahoo settings interact with iOS. Yahoo is responsible for updating their software for the new operating system. If spam dramatically changed after the new update, that’s on Yahoo.
I get frustrated when Apple makes changes that interrupt my usual workflow. I understand many of their changes are aimed at streamlining and improving workflow. When it’s new to me, it tends to temporarily slow down my workflow in the short term, until I get used to it.
I’m usually more impressed with improvements to Mac OS rather than iOS. But, in the long run, I have to admit that the features, power, integration, workflow between iOS and Mac incrementally improves over time. Still, I grumble about having to get used to change in the short term.
There are some AI enhanced, spam removal, cloud-based applications that do a great job of automating removal of email spam. The annual fees of some are relatively low. But, if Yahoo was already doing that for free before the iOS update, I can understand not wanting to spend extra money.

I was banned from TGP for posting that solid state amps are every bit as good as tube amps. Obviously, I got what was coming to me.

I signed up for a refinance of the 25K left on my house and some credit cards.... Now I'm not kidding you when I say that I receive 7 or 8 phone calls a day from people trying to loan me 50 - 100 grand and three times as many emails. 
Even told the broker I'm working with... "If you need to call me or send me a document to sign... TEXT me first, otherwise I will ignore you as if you're a West African Prince."
