Wait, are people genuinely not unsubscribing immediately from random advertisements? RIP their inbox i guess.

    You're trusting random spam emails enough to click anything? I just click the report spam button on the email client and let the spam filters take care of it.

    No, i use the drop down menu on the email ui. It unsubs and reports spam.

    It unsubs and reports spam.

    If it's a spammer, then unsubscribing just lets them add your email address to a list of known-active email addresses, which they can sell for more money to other scammers.

    If you subscribed to something, then unsubscribe, sure. If you didn't subscribe (AND accept a confirmation right after), then mark as spam ONLY - don't unsubscribe also.

    If someone else successfully subscribed you to something (accidentally or on purpose), then there wasn't a confirmation process - these people should be marked as spam.

    Depends on the emails. Sometimes I don’t mind it.

    The worst though was a local business changed their name, with an email announcing the babe change that did not include the old name. So I had no idea who the fuck they were.
