- 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.
