Verb after "feel" in this sentence

Hope you would not feel got spam from me today.

Should it be "gotten"? Or "got" and "gotten" exchangable here?
If simply using spammed instead of "got spam", there seems to be a slight difference in that "spammed" means some serious spaming was going on, and "got spam" implies just this instance. Is this understanding of the difference correct here? "got/gotten spam" doesn't feel very natural here to me and "spammed" is not accurate.


Thanks

Hi,

Hope you would not feel got spam from me today.

Even with corrections, this feels very hypothetical with 'would'.

eg ( If I sent you a million copies of the same message today )

I hope you would not feel you got spam from me today.

It seems like an unlikely thing to want to say. More likely is eg

I hope you
