That’s fine for you, but believe it or not, there are actually people who sign up for newsletters voluntarily because they want to stay informed about something. Google shouldn’t try to override the user’s preference about receiving newsletters.

- CydeWeys 9y agoMark a few of the messages as important and you won't miss future ones. Given how pervasive getting signed up for email lists is even when I don't really want to be on them, the opt-in model makes more sense for me than the opt-out model.
- rtx 9y agoTrue, but the solution should be double optin not something managed by Google.
- CydeWeys 9y agoMailing lists that aren't double opt-in are way more likely to be managed by Google on behalf of the user than those that are. The spammy mailing lists are way more likely to get spam-filtered by users who were "opted-in" to them by the mailer. Google's solution is necessary because bad actors in email abound.
