Honestly, email notifications and the concept of "unsubscribing" is a big fad. 9/10 services that I try to unsubscribe to, end up asking confusing questions, and instead of ubsubbing me at once, they will rather ask me which topics I'm interested in.
So much for the email "privacy". I guess I'm better off not giving two shits about it.
- Macha 4y agoThe one thing I miss since leaving Google for mail is the knowledge that I could use the report spam button on companies that made unsubscribing difficult and if enough users did this, it hurt their deliverability to most of their customers. On Fastmail, as far as I know, the spam filter model is only updated for my organisation, and even if they had a service wide filter taking user feedback, they are much smaller.
- iamacyborg 4y agoI’m not sure how fastmail handle it, but with hotmail Microsoft would automatically send a list unsubscribe request if you marked an email as spam. Any legitimate mailing platform will honour that request.
- krallja 4y agoMy favorite misfeature of Google mail is when you get a spam email sent to a Groups mailing list, mark it as Spam, and Google helpfully offers to “Unsubscribe & Mark as Spam.” Clicking this button removes you from your Google Group! “You have been unsubscribed from engineers@work.example!”
- jabroni_salad 4y agoIf it isn't a 1-click unsubscribe I click the back button and mark as spam. I read on this website that marking stuff as spam causes a lot of problems for gmail delivery, which is what I want.
