I've never signed up for an email newsletter in 15 years online and I get 100 messages a day into my Gmail junk folder, and 10 into my inbox, masquerading as newsletters. They're spam. Pretending that people sign up for these things is a tactic the spammers are using to discourage constructive discussion.

It was quite common back before RSS feeds and always on internet. One would have newsletters delivered to a MUA and then go offline to save precious minutes from your heady 14.4kbps connection costs. People still do sign up for newsletters. But there is also a lot of spam masquerading as requested mail.
