I keep clicking report spam, but I'm not sure what it does. Has anyone seen text messages get delivered to a 'spam' folder?

I'll probably keep doing it but it seems futile

On my Apple devices, it simply deletes the message and reports the event to Apple. (See screen shot below)
So i just delete the message without reporting.
