I encourage you to start marking them as spam on the first strike. When I give a company my email, I only do it because it’s necessary for creating an account, making a purchase, or something like that. I’ve never clicked a checkbox inviting a company to send me emails that are not directly related to me using their product, like tracking updates or password resets. If there was an obvious box to uncheck, I would have unchecked it. I would never, ever consent to receiving company newsletters, product updates, marketing, or anything else. Ergo, it’s spam, and I do my little part to harm their deliverability.
