I'm probably in the minority here because I actually appreciate follow-up emails. Sometimes I get a message and feel lukewarm about it, ignoring it entirely, but by the follow-up have definitely made up my mind. Other times, I intend to get to a message but just fail to because of ADHD or life events and a follow-up is a convenient reminder.
If I dont like the message, the delete button takes a fraction of a second (my mail client [spark] makes it easy to actually just select a ton of emails at once and mass-delete) so it's really not an inconvenience to me at all. If I despise the message, the spam button also exists.
I'm not sure what the big fuss is people make about email all the time, but I'm thinking it might be time to just reassess how you manage your emails rather than blaming the people sending the messages.

- tpetry 6y agoMarketers send these emails because they are free and they see some engagement. There is no metric to calculate whether their customers are upset receiving these mails. Whether it‘s an effective method is not clear. But it is not intelligently used (only send follow ups if e.g. not created task in a todo app) by almost anyone.
