Are you saying that email scanners were not only fetching the unsubscribe link but also submitting the “unsubscribe” button/form on the page? I find this hard

I find this hard to believe since everyone else seems to manage this without a Captcha.
- yencabulator 6mo agoI does sound like they made a HTTP GET request have side effects.
- dpark 6mo agoI suspect that’s exactly what they did. And then they “solved” it with a Captcha. Conveniently I bet human unsubscribes also dropped when that was instituted.
