- tjogin 17y agoWhether he chose to follow them automatically or not, he's subscribing to their updates. That's does not fit any definition of "unsolicited" I know of.
- Semiapies 17y agoYeah, that's a problem of the "That cactus is dangerously spiny!" "Well, then stop trying to tackle it!" variety.
- salvadors 17y agoI don't think it's their updates that are being classed as spam as much as the direct messages that they send. It's certainly arguable that if you follow someone you're subscribing to those too, but I think it's less clear-cut.
- tjogin 17y agoTrue, I wouldn't say he "subscribes" do their DMs. But, he has decidedly opted-in to them sending him DMs.
