For those who work in companies that subscribe users to emails, when users unsubscribe, what portion of them say they "never signed up for this"? - eviltoast

Obviously not looking for hyperaccurate answers, just in general, how many people tend to unsubscribe from promotional emails and how many tick the option “I never signed up for this”?

    Not to mention, I can buy just about any non-EU email address i want on demand.

    That such a marketplace exists is a major annoyance.

        I see “email is dead” a lot. It’s not. I use it every day and so do most people.

        It’d be a nightmare to conduct everything I do via email via whatsapp or Jira or Instagram messenger…

          This might be hard to believe for those who say that, but I still email my friends. I’m 30 years old, decided to let go of all social media, and other friends enjoy sitting to focus for a few minutes and write something thoughtful. Depending on the country you live in, most communication with authorities or services will be via email.

            Email is really the only mainstream communication medium that’s not owned by some shitty company or other.

      But good to know that there’s a line between that and EU mails. Glad the EU legislated that away.
