- yreg 4y agoI'm sure many people will mark anything they are not interested in as spam.
- hn_throwaway_69 4y agoMy rule: If there isn't a prominent, 1-click unsubscribe link in an email, it gets marked as spam. If I click unsubscribe, and the form asks me to fill in information, it gets marked as spam. No, I'm not filling in my email, let alone completing a CAPTCHA, to ask you to stop sending me emails. However, I don't click an unsubscribe link in an email where I suspect the unsubscribe link is itself a scam to collect information.
- RL_Quine 4y agoI've been toying with just automatically trashing any email that contains the string "unsubscribe", in any context.
- haruka_ff 4y agoThis actually sounds like the most plausible reason considering there is really no other incentive to do this.
