FYI those fake personal emails are totally obvious and everyone hates the fake sincerity.

FYI those fake personal emails are totally obvious and everyone hates the fake sincerity.
- Ntrails 11y agoThe fact that I can actually just reply to the email and get progress negates the annoyance of a CG starting point.
- troydavis 11y agoThe amazing thing is how many senders fool themselves into thinking they're fooling users. The first commenter's description ("designed to appear handcrafted") seems to fall into that category. I hear senders cite an email open rate or click rate, but there's no way to measure groans or "Do they think I've never signed up for a Web app?" reactions. (Heck, maybe it does help for consumer-oriented services, where many users actually haven't ever signed up for a Web app before.)
- tedmiston 11y agoBut you're an early adopter / power user, exposed to this plenty, and most users aren't that savvy. Though I also find these types of messages annoying, they do seem to get to a higher interaction rate from normal users.
