I fucking hate the modern web
You joke, but I’ve been so desensitised by what feels like every website doing this shit, I really did forget how fucked up it actually is.
Also, the subscribe to our newsletter checkbox ticked by default. I swear on my life, I ALWAYS make sure to untick it, but sure enough, my inbox still somehow looks like I engraved my email address on the front door of every marketing department.
There are even services that send you newsletter shit although you made sure you’re opted out.
Also there’s newsletter with a link to opt out but the link is just fake. I hate it so much.
Bandsintown did this to me, and when I unsubscribed it said it would take 48 hours, and in that time I think they sent 15 emails.
I just put them straight on my blocked list, why risk clicking a random link in an email
