this nevertheless happens all the time. i have an old linkedin account i haven't logged into in years and can't be bothered to dig up the credentials so one of my e-mails gets stupid "network updates". one must log in to disable these and navigate to some obscure settings page in one of the most heinously overcrowded UIs on the web. so i just flagged it all as spam and hoped it hurts their deliverability a little.

  Honestly I click an unsubscribe link but if it requires me to complete a survey or fill out a form, I just nix the tab and spam filter the email. I'm nobody's fucking admin assistant and my time is valuable: you know my fucking email and could easily add it to the think, or at the most, ask me to type it into a box if you MUST. Anything more than that, if I have to manually opt out of "types" of messages or whatever, nah. Fuck you. I didn't ask for your fucking emails and I sure as shit am not going to do the homework you're assigning me to make them stop.

    Yep, I just spam filter the E-mails now. If that act adds 0.0001% to that sender having future E-mail deliverability problems, then all the better. If it's commercial or political and I didn't explicitly ask for the sender to E-mail, then it's spam.

      It does! Reporting as spam will cause them to have issues if enough people do it.

    If the survey has text fields and I have enough spite left in me I fill them with "[object Object]" in the hopes it makes someones day more miserable than mine.
