I honestly don't care about their reputation, I just mark anything I don't want as spam. It's easier than finding the tiny 8-point link at the bottom and rolling the dice on whether their unsubscribe is one click or not. I don't feel obligated to protect their shitty business model.
- eastbound 3y agoI once went to an Atlassian conf and they resold all our emails to dodgy people. Or perhaps leaked them over the black markets. Not only I keep receiving almost the same email suggesting to buy 5,000 email addresses of Atlassian customers with always the same fields, but it’s always from different domains. I didn’t think of submitting an Atlassian ticket for each spam I receive. That would teach them. NEVER give your true email to Atlassian.

- tgsovlerkhgsel 3y agoSame with Blackhat. You can provide a different e-mail on your profile... and then they'll still happily pass both that and your original sign-up address to any vendor you interacted with, and it will be resold so you end up with spam from vendors that weren't even there.
- LeifCarrotson 3y agoI think that happens with most conferences these days. Happened to the disposable email address I sent to the International Manufacturing Technology Show, the A3 Automate show, and the Advanced Manufacturing Expo. I understand giving my business card or email address to a new vendor I meet at the show. That's the point of the thing. I do not understand why these shows sabotage themselves by selling their reputation to spammy marketers.
