Open Rate metric: unreliable?

Hi, I'm a newbie in email marketing and I'm doing an AB test with the tool Yet Another Mail Merge.

Immediately after sending, approx. 30% of the emails appeared as opened. Reading their documentation, I found out that it could be due to aggressive spam filters and providers like Gmail pre-opening the emails they receive.

At the same time, I read this article (quite old) on Hubspot stating that at the time open rates were declining due to web clients / mobile clients / outlook blocking images by default.

Can someone shed more light on this?

Thanks,

Antonio
