The people sending spam are advertising typically illegal or questionable
products, and the sender doesn't improve the quality of my life.

I would compare spam to the current advertising you see on the walls of
toilets: "For a good time call xxxxxx".

Commercial toilet advertising on the other hand is legitimate, regulated,
and means that each time I go to the bathroom, I'm effectively earning the
university money even if I completely ignore the advertisement. How
wonderful is that? I'm improving my life just by 'pissing'.

Not only that, but I would imagine that the legitimate advertisers would be
more keen on eliminating the illegitimate advertisers from the restrooms,
and improving the general atmosphere of the bathrooms to reflect positively
on their own brands. Another win for me!
