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!!!”.

You know why I’m here, you annoying fuck.

    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.
