The spam in my junk mail box is getting worse not better. I have been marking spam as junk for over a month. Has something happened to the junk mail filter?

I have been assiduously marking all the junk and non-junk items coming into my junk mailbox for over a month. The situation was better, the volume of junk mail was decreasing by half every two weeks. Now it is rising again to pre-thunderbird levels. Has something happened to the junk mail filter to stop it from working? Why does it take so long to identify junk. The same words keep appearing: debt, lawn, lawyer, cancer, zantac, loans, credit, glasses, frames, windows, insurance, fitness. If I can spot these why can't a the filter. Honestly, this spammer is driving me nuts. My account is with hotmail.com.
