The worst part is that (at least in Canada) this isn't illegal. Unsolicited calls, texts and email are illegal but snail mail is fine.
It seems that all form of communication should have the same rules, but the laws are special cases. Probably if they start messaging you via WhatsApp that is also fine.

Essentially spam is the most profitable aspect of the service, and so it's endorsed at the expense of everything else. Since the sender pays costs for postal mail, it's completely different than SMS or emails.
