Dear Email Industry, I hope you become obsolete real fast.
Does anyone really read those e-mails websites send them? I can't be the only one looking for the unsub link immediately because you accidentally left the check 'subscribe to our newsletter' on when ordering something.
You know, those checks that are turned back on when you post the form but are redirected to the form because of validation errors.

Yes, a few people read and engage with them. They're so inexpensive to send that many companies can justify the cost with a conversion rate of < 1%.
- hoseja 6y agoI actually don't mind them. Most of the emails I get are from retailers where I am likely to buy something in the future, and seem mostly to be in the form of a deals-leaflet. A nice quaint bit of somewhat useful, traditional advertising.
- dkersten 6y agoI can't think of a single "newsletter" that I've received in the past two years that I actually read. Usually my response is "huh, did I forget to uncheck a box? Unsubscribe".
