Once a company wouldn’t stop emailing me despite unsubscribing. I sent them multiple emails with no response.
Then I heard that if enough people mark a sender as spam, Google starts automatically considering them spam for everyone. I emailed them to let them know this, and told them if they didn’t remove me, I would mark them as spam which would affect them majorly.
They replied to my email within minutes and told me I was unsubscribed and would never receive another email from them lmao
Why would you issue a warning to a spammer instead of using the tools as intended, and just marking it as spam anyway? It clearly was. All you did here was pass the buck to someone else now.
I did both, but I wanted my email removed from their system. I hate my spam box being filled up if I can help it.
Understandable. I really doubt emails actually get removed from systems they get sold at that point and kept in the database that’s not actively used.
Sounds like a joke to me? I do not get the infuriating part.
Pretty bold for a company with an address in mailing list range.

I hate stuff like this, that thinks it’s being “cute”, or “cool”, or “clever”, or whatever as if the company and I have some sort of personal relationship and could just interact on this level. No, Ridiculous Company, you and I do not have any kind of relationship - and now we never will even try again for one, any time in the future. In fact, from now on every time I see your logo, I will remember your “cleverness” and imagine a room full of imposter marketers and imposter developers sitting in a plastic building full of foosball tables and needlessly-big vertical monitors being “clever” for each other while their stock goes further and further down the toilet.
Or is that just me?
A true thigh-slapper, that.

does involuntary opt-in count?
It does, and under sane laws, it’s also illegal.
If someone pissed me off enough, I used to enter their email address every time a website wanted me to sign up for a newsletter. And if they asked me for my name while doing so, I’d enter a little message/insult for that person.
