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.
Yeah. Many spam emailers will abuse the 'unsubscribe' link in order to build up a list of active email addresses to send more shit to.
If somebody clicks 'unsubscribe', then you know they're a hot target: an email address getting checked by a real person who looks at the spam emails at least long enough to read the title and look for an unsubscribe link!
No, i use the drop down menu on the email ui. 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.
