      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!

      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.
