> Don't hate on the email outreach because it's automated. If your going to hate it, do so for sincere reasons: namely that you're not interested in their services. I get emails from services that I'm actively trialing and evaluating to see how effectively it meets my needs. That's how they got my email address in the first place. I'm interested as hell in their services. I may have already bought their services. I have exactly zero interest in being interrupted and distracted by an ad copy regurgitating the same basic information I already looked at on their fucking website - or worse, sharing information they hid from their website. I cannot hit unsubscribe fast enough. If it wasn't worth writing, it certainly wasn't worth sending! > Case in point: if an automated message offered you a mansion in your neighborhood for sale, at 200$, would you really be upset that the message was automated? I would be upset that they've clearly sold my email address to a third party - or worse, have some kind of advertisement XSS stealing login emails - spamming me clear scams, email their security alias to notify them assuming the worst, make my spam filters more aggressive, and second guess if I really want to entrust their services with any of my data. Even if, somehow, against all odds, you could convince me it was a 'legitimate' offer, I'd assume the automation was bugged and the offer would fall through, or that the property had some kind of significant issue - huge tax burden, implied responsibility for superfund site cleanup, onerous historical upkeep and maintenance requirements, etc. that would make me uninterested in the actual deal. You could convince my closest confidants to take up the deal, a perfectly legitimate offer with no such hidden issues or strings, honor it, and on my death bed I'd be wondering when the other shoe was going to drop on them, upset that they'd been conned. If I want a $200 mansion, I'll go out and find it, if it exists. Don't call me - and most especially do not call me with a python script pretending to be a real boy engaging in a real one on one conversation when it isn't - I'll call you.
