I have never subscribed to receive any marketing emails
It feels strange that I always receive a lot of marketing emails despite the fact that I never subscribed to any.
I even feel like I have control over it because of that tiny “Unsubscribe” link that is always available.
I locate it in less than a second, click it and bye bye little annoying email - you’re done. I can even detect the tricks from these unsubscribe tools
when they unsubscribe me and then show me the big green button saying Confirm and subscribe again which is supposed to trick me.
But I’m untrickable! Haha!
I just did the same to “LA GRANDE ABBUFFATA PIZZA+PASTA PARTY” (whatever that is) email but now I feel tricked on another level.
I’m just part of this strange process where businesses:
- subscribe me to their marketing material
- government tells them to make sure people can unsubscribe
- businesses comply
- I receive marketing emails
- I unsubscribe
- the circle repeats
Seems like everybody gets what they want here except me.
How much value was produced in this circle? Probably some, right? Right?
Maybe somebody has a job and can support their family because of it. I really hope so.
I can slightly suffer for this reason.
I do appreciate the trick…
