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.

    Your email service’s scanner might, because some of them go through every link and check what’s on the page.

      I was going to say the same thing. The overbearing corporate email scanner at work will dutifully follow every link in any email I receive, which is why I assume there’s usually a confirmation page and they don’t do one-click unsubscribe links.

      This same scanner will also trigger every singe tracking link in any spam email, resulting in even more spam hitting my inbox.

        Gets us on the other end too as we do newsletters and other web work for small orgs, so our poor little web servers basically get DDOS’d by the scanners when we send out a newsletter with a bunch of backlinks.
