My point was that once services appeared that let you send them as part of a package or even for free, people flocked to them. Of course people complained and used the service when there was no alternative.
I'd say that in that limited scope of an example, opinion polls and consumer action were very similar.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoI'm wondering if email could be sold as a pay-to-play (not pay-per-email) sort of thing? We already pay our ISP, so I guess that's happening already. The only question is then, how much more would we pay for good email? SPAM-free email, with messages vetted by authentic origin.
