For example, I opt out of all emails from a website. A year later they make a new newsletter and auto subscribe all to it.

I login, hit unsubscribe, then report as spam in my email client.

I figure auto adding me is more/less spamming me. Do y’all agree?

    I report every mailing list email as spam, unless I specifically signed up for it.

    So sick of, say, getting my car serviced… and next minute I’m getting email spam about deals on oil and air fresheners or something because deep down in the 14 pages of text they want you to accept while you’re standing at the counter is a pre-ticked box that says “allow us to spam you indefinitely?”. It’s not like I want to sign up for anything, but to get the oil changed on my Hyundai apparently I need an email address so they can send me confirmations of my appointment. Sounds legit… oh wait, actually its just an excuse to spam me about the new Kona.

    We did a US trip last year and I was getting DAILY emails from Applebees because I put my email address in to get a copy of my receipt when I paid once. Who the heck wants DAILY spam about dinner ffs?
