They should offer people a chance to pay to block delivery of emails from certain parties; express your hate for a small fee! The potential gains are unlimited, even the most popular and well supported email campaign has only one party paying to send stuff out; but there'd be thousands potentially willing to disagree.

  You might be serious, so... This is self-defeating. It only works if you have huge numbers of customers, and you'd lose all of them the moment you made the change. Also, this is the business model of so-called "stressor" services. DDOS as a service.

Well, that's the first time the Babylon Bee has ever made me laugh. I swear, it's not because over their politics. It's because their humor is just bad. Or to put the best face on it I can, their target has a sense of humor so wildly different from mine that I can't even recognize it as the same thing.
