The unsubscribe confirmation screens are always like. “ARE YOU SURE??? THIS MIGHT BE A MISTAKE. IF YOU MADE AN ACCIDENTAL MISTAKE YOU CAN UNDO IT HERE!!!”.

You know why I’m here, you annoying fuck.

    I get like 6-7 a day from various DNC campaigns because at one point I gave ActBlue my email, and they apparently disseminated it to fucking everyone. If I thought it would help, I’d send them a nastygram to get them to take me out of all their lists, but I’m more or less 100% sure the horse is well out of that barn already, and there’s no one central list that I can get un-subbed from anymore.

      I don’t get this.

      Once Gmail and co mark you as spam you’re NEVER getting through and can’t appeal.

      You have to make your emails actually relevant otherwise you’re gone from 90% of people’s inbox.

      That goes for the 6 follow up emails begging for reviews after I make a purchase. Congrats, now I don’t see your order placed or order delivered emails.

      But some exec is looking that you’re sending emails with X frequency and now the ever dwindling CTR — which they’ll blame on Apple and privacy tools, but you can only measure by tracking the thing you wanted being done and not the click or open data.

      I did a brief stint doing email analytics and people are fucking stupid.

      I got hit with something like that because I responded to a survey from my representative. It’s like I responded to your survey because you’re my representative, not because I personally support you or your political party.
