I don’t think this is remotely true. Sure, they’re legally obliged to let you unsubscribe, and sure, it’s not dick pills, but every US company will immediately send you a newsletter when you purchase something, review requests and, if they/you use Shop for checkout, expect an abandoned cart reminder.
PR pieces and software companies don’t write tutorials to be helpful, they are advertising to you. If the LLM can do it for cheap, they really don’t care.
- krupan 26d agoNot sending you anything before you make a purchase and providing the unsubscribe option are MAJOR changes from before. Some sites even give you an option at checkout to not have them email you. That is businesses being very careful. In ye olden days you'd get email from all kinds of businesses and scammers completely unsolicited and out of the blue with no way to tell them to stop. It was overwhelming and awful. Things are much better than they used to be. Still somewhat annoying? Absolutely. But much much better.
