When I saw the friend was using Mailchimp, it made a lot more sense.
I get lots of spam from Mailchimp (ie. people subscribing me to their newsletter, without my consent), and complaining to Mailchimp about it seems to have no effect.
So since Mailchimp allows bad actors to send mail with their service, it’s not entirely unfair that Mailchimp mail gets flagged as spam.
- gk1 9y agoThe author uses Aweber, not Mailchimp. Besides, Mailchimp is quite strict with their opt-in policy and they don't hesitate to suspend accounts that ignore it.
- tyingq 9y agoOne of the author's peers uses MailChimp and saw the drop. https://detailed.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/paul-jarvis.jpg https://detailed.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/paul-jarvis..... That's in the article. "Did you read the post"...that always shuts down discussion.
- gk1 9y agoYou're right, it's unnecessarily hostile. I edited that out.
- mikl 9y ago> The author uses Aweber, not Mailchimp. Sorry, I wasn’t aware that was a mail service, my bad. His friend (from the iMessage convo) was using Mailchimp, though. > Mailchimp is quite strict with their opt-in policy and they don't hesitate to suspend accounts that ignore it. They might say they’re strict, but almost any time I give my e-mail address some where online, I’m automatically signed up for some Mailchimp newsletter, and Mailchimp can’t even be bothered to reply if you report it.
- chinathrow 9y agoMailchimp does not care at all. I unsubscribe daily for lists never subscribed to. They come back and spam again...
- discreditable 9y ago> Mailchimp is quite strict with their opt-in policy and they don't hesitate to suspend accounts that ignore it. And still I get quite a bit of Mailchimp-sourced spam I never opted-in to.
