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!!!!".

The Liberal Party of Canada sent me FOUR fundraising emails in the same fucking day. 3 the prior day, three the day before that. It was 15 emails in a week.

They also labelled the emails “official contribution record” just to make it fucking awful to search my inbox for tax receipts.

I’ve never fucking unsubscribed from a list harder. The people running that campaign must be the dumbest fucks alive.

    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.

    I think they're all like that, provincial too. Aggressive af. I made an email alias dedicated to political fundraisers and had them auto sort into a folder that auto deletes emails after anything reaches 1 month old because I knew NDP would spam me to death doing anything for them lol. Even if you ubsub from main, you'll still be on every individual member's separate email list and more.
