My father recently passed away in the US. I'm currently cleaning up his email account (which I have long managed on his behalf with my own mail infrastructure). The number of invasive, inane, insipid, predatory, disingenuous, and exploitative services the US' capitalist system has created is appalling. They all want you to fail at unsubscribing, actively trying to get you to accidentally sign up again after you explicitly unsubscribe. They're run by grifters wgi vastly overrate themselves.
They're digital deer ticks - blood sucking parasites that invade your space, accrue, and offer little-if-any value.
And, to be clear, I think he had pretty good email hygiene. I perish the thought of some (most?) folks' inboxen in the US. So little signal, so much noise.
I don’t recall joining Gordon Ramsay’s mailing list when I went to his restaurant in the US but I sure remember unsubscribing from it!
(Repeat for the dozen or more retailers I visited when I was there.)
