This is exactly right. There will be many strategies and lots of solutions to the problem of spam. Each will have its own tradeoffs. Sometimes, the optimal approach may be to combine multiple solutions into a single meta-solution.
So in general, if you’re a big proponent of one anti-spam solution, it doesn’t mean the others have no place.
I see people claiming that a single solution solved all spam issues, but in reality each solution has different tradeoffs. Web of Trust has lots of collateral damage. You filter out legitimate posts from people completely outside your circles. I would hate to lose that.
The best anti spam will likely be a combination of anti spam algos and WoT, allowing people outside your circles if the message doesn’t trigger your spam algo.
Lightning is effective as well, but not everyone uses that.
