I'm not quite sure how this is offensive to journalists? According to the author, these aren't private email addresses. He basically just did the footwork of finding all these email addresses and put them in a list. Sure $9/month seems expensive and I'm not quite sure what I get for that but that's far from offensive. How is this different than what Crunchbase is for entrepreneurs? edit Who adds the info to Crunchbase? The person themself or anyone? Or the proprietors of the site? Or...aliens?

Cision and Vocus provide similar services and charge a whole lot more than $9/month. I'm pretty sure Crunchbase employs people to keep it up to date. We're listed and I don't think anyone here added us. I'm guessing they extract data on funding from SEC filings.

It's offensive because it implies I'm a commodity that has nothing better to do than write about someone's shitty Swift website. It's offensive because someone is charging money to send me spam. You want to pitch me? Do the work yourself. Chances are I won't even see your pitch because my inbox is clogged from shitty pitch emails from assholes like pressfarm. Pass.
