The other trick I've noticed is companies will add new categories and default those on. I'll see a whole page of categories and somehow the last one will be enabled even though I'm sure I'd have turned them all off when I disabled the bulk of them.
- bradleyankrom 6mo agoLinkedIn does this and it is annoying
- aidenn0 6mo agoTo this day I do not have a LinkedIn account because they have historically been the most aggressive spammers of any company. The year I graduated college, almost 2/3 of the e-mails I received were LinkedIn spam.
- leni536 6mo agoLinkedin sends you notifications an emails for having other unread notifications without any additional info. It's really the worst.
- ferngodfather 6mo ago"Someone viewed your profile" with a blurred photo of them. So you know exactly who it is, but you won't just tell me in the email? I have to open the app/site so you can tick your engagement box for the day? So glad I'm off that shit hole. It's just full of pompous picks anyway.
- mk12 6mo agoI recently tried disabling notification in LinkedIn. The designers and engineers working there who created the notifications settings are truly evil. You have to go through 14 categories. Some of them let you toggle the whole category at once, some don't. Some categories are split into 8 more subcategories.
- Gigachad 6mo agoI just flag as spam in my email client and it takes care of all future emails.
- random2021 6mo agoTrue. Another worse offender is gitlab. They send promotions hidden as a part of this is obligatory account related into telling blah blah and adding BTW see these extra features for more payments.
- duskdozer 6mo agoNot just gitlab. I'm seeing this happen more and more. I'm assuming it relies on the fact that it's a nontrivial investment to file a government complaint.
- rvba 6mo ago"Terms of use" update emails seem to be a new way to remind you about a service too.
- iamacyborg 6mo agoOr add junk to existing categories. Amazon are sending me a ton of notifications for their “Haul” shop but I have absolutely zero interest in the cheapest made shit. No way to turn off those notifications without disabling the entire category.
