It is only a tiny fraction of the population that are able to "opt out" at the level described here: seeking unsubscribe services that aren't scams, modifying the DOM, etc. If those are the only methods that even partially work, then the majority have no recourse, no choice but to be bombarded, to be drained, to have their attention taken from them without their consent and pierced until nothing remains. I can only imagine the rage and betrayal I would feel if I felt this being perpetrated against me, with no recourse but to disconnect. I hope that some day the people who don't know what a DOM is will muster the courage to eat us at the same scale we ate them, for a value of "eat" that cares as much for our input as we cared for theirs. I left the tech industry, but I cannot leave behind the fear and guilt that I have participated in something horrifically ugly.
