> Most places are pretty good about sending unsubscribe links these days. Yeah, but unfortunately companies are also really, really, really good at putting you on mailing lists/ADLs that you never, ever would have signed up for on your own. I went to a coffee shop in Palo Alto, bought a coffee, paid by Square, found I was now on one of their Square Marketing ADLs. Never asked for it, never would have asked for it, would have said "Hell no" if I were asked. Flagged it as Spam. Seriously considering never visiting that coffee shop again, but have at the very least switched to paying by cash... Seriously, cut the bullshit. I don't want to be signed up to your list just because I bought something. Ask me if you want me on your list - if it's something I care enough about, I'd actually be okay with it.
