I think this sounds shady. The most interesting part of the article to me was the use of "email" by itself to mean "email address". This is always so confusing to me, since "email" already is a noun meaning something else.
A button saying "Get email" to me would indicate that I would be sent email if I clicked, not that I would be shown the email address of the person the button was associated with, for example.
- the_watcher 10y agoIt's pretty clear in context what it means. Also, email has become a noun that also means exactly what it's intended to here (hence it being commonplace for someone to ask for another person's email and omit "address"). There are numerous words that are nouns with multiple meanings.
