As someone who's been doing email marketing for a decade, you'd be subscribed by how many people are more than happy to sign up to a mailing list without being "coerced" as you describe.

- oliwarner 6y agoIt's not just my bias. I'm sensitive to it, but I'm regularly added to mailing lists despite my express lack of consent. We all are. I also regularly walk clients back from doing exactly the same thing. The perks in marketing don't give a flying French Fancy what the law is. They care about absolute volume. I did a little exercise last year, took a screenshot of every order form I submitted. I reported a dozen companies to the ICO last year, with documented examples of companies wilfully ignoring GDPR regulations. Yeah, I'm also fun at parties.
