> I'm a little more understanding of people who use these to determine how much dead weight their mailing list has. Especially if you're an indie creator, you don't want to be paying for the 20% of people who might not be reading your newsletter. I don't mind a "please let us know if you're reading our newsletter" email as long as they're not obnoxious about it. I semi regularly use the prune feature of my mailing list client to get rid of people who haven’t opened emails recently. I suppose this may be removing active subscribers? If so, is there another way to achieve this goal? (Removing non-active members helps reduce spam reports and helps with deliverability I think) (My niche is non technical so they probably use email app defaults for images)
