One of the things I noticed is oddities with email.
I have an email that I used for news feeds. A RSS scraper on my own network, and some external feeds via feedburner or whatever syndication service the publisher used is sent there. Every so often, I'd find one in the spam box, but it usually was there for good reason - it had a lot of the spammy keywords, lots of obfusticated links, or any number of other typical spam tactics.
One day, I noticed that I wasn't receiving a lot of feeds. Checking them said that yes, there was new content. Sign into the gmail account, and they're all in spam. About half said "You reported this as spam from your inbox." Since that was the first time I'd logged in via the web in well over a month, that was unlikely. Monitored it for about a week and it kept doing it, "You reported this," and it wasn't anything I could point to. A feed from a page that has sends out a daily image of an otter. A webcomic. A feed about single-board computers. A random story. Some had the similar to previous reports tag, but many had the you reported this.
Gave up, bought another email box on my own domain, transferred everything except the syndicated feeds, and no trouble since. Sure, it's $9 a year, but it's no longer on google's system. I still have the email because I've had it since forever, but it may be time to just close the accounts I have and be done with them.
What the fuck, google.
