Does it?

I have one gmail account that I check multiple times, I use it to get 
basically junk mail (all those stores trying to lure me in by offering 
deals).  I rarely get spam there.

But the other two get a lot.  Actually, the reason I got one of them is 
long in the past, but there is a constant flow of email from I don't know 
where.  Near as I can tell, someone went around and gave out the wrong 
gmail address, so is started getting it.  It's all either mailing lists or 
someone sending out to their list of contacts.  That gets spam, but not 
that much.

The third is the one I gave my sister, and there's a trickle of real email 
there.  But, the spam is amazing.  Not only lots of it, but I swear it's 
related to my sister's use of gmail, since there is a lot of dog and 
health related stuff.  Almost relevant, but I sure didn't ask for it.

So I suspect gmail is more careful with accounts that get used regularly, 
but that's speculation.
