Scraping email addresses into a "subscribers" list, sending unsolicited spam, and claiming to be associated with the official site - this is scummy behavior.
Unfortunately such disrespectful behavior to online communities has become the norm, with companies like Facebook leading the onslaught of legally and ethically questionable practices to exploit and abuse the public trust. On the hierarchy of scum, they're top-level scum that demonstrates to everyone, "This is how we do business now."
It's likely an "entrepreneur" trying to get traction, maybe make a little money on advertising. In their need for hustle, they crossed a line.
