Ticketmaster gave one of my email addresses to their parent company, Live Nation. They started spamming me with event stuff pretty much immediately. Their unsubscribe options don't work. I complained to their support and they told me to just not use it, and that the emails would go away? Screw that, I changed the email address I used for Ticketmaster and deleted the original one. No more spam since, thankfully, so it seems they didn't pass the new address along.
The one that puzzles me is that some recruiting database got my personal email address, the one I only give out to people I care to keep in touch with. I've never, ever given that email address to a recruiter! I asked them how they got that email, and of course they just said "some AI-powered recruiting tool we use". It's sad because that email address is super fun and I had managed to keep it private for so long...
