Just an offshoot topic. What really grinds my gears these days is when you click unsubscribe and then they ask you to login in to change your email preferences.

- vortico 9y agoI also hate that. You could claim that doing this is a violation of the CAN-SPAM act since it can be assumed that there will be people who have forgotten their password, so therefore the unsubscribe button is nonfunctional.
- wl 9y agoYou're making the unwarranted assumption that the person who gave the email address is the one the address belongs to, Cf. https://xkcd.com/1279/ https://xkcd.com/1279/ .
- vortico 9y agoBy "you", do you mean companies that send these emails? But good point. What you said is another reason that the CAN-SPAM might be violated by requiring a login to unsubscribe.
