Gmail filter to mark all incoming mail as read

gmailgmail-filters

I would like to create a filter to mark all incoming mail as read in Gmail (I find the read/unread indicators distracting for my workflow)

Is there an easy way to do this? I tried using a filter that searched for "is:unread" and marking it read, but Gmail gave me a warning saying that the "is" filter will never select incoming mail.

Within the Gmail filter, for Size, choose "greater than 1 Bytes". For action, choose "Mark as read."
