   Looks like millionshort is already dead? Last and only blog post is over a year old. copyright is still 2018. Sad, it looked promising.

   I wrote a small os X app based on this, that sorts your downloads in subfolders named like the domain you downloaded the file from (it's just a small shell script in a wrapper so it might run in Linux as well with some modifications):

   It doesn't work like that, for two reasons: 1) If the mail you receive actually interests you, you wouldn't classify it as "spamming" ("Did I really sign up for that? Anyway it sounds good"). If not you may avo

   Working for an email marketing company you will aknowledge that something like "email marketing" exists. So there is a way to do this right. Maybe I haven't read TFA closely enough, but I didn't see him mentioning scrapi

   What is the barrel of wine in your analogy? Your personal inbox or email as a whole? I don't think my inbox would be ruined by a single email from that particular guy.

   Well if you send an email to 25 people and 1 one of them actually takes time to read it, click and fill out a signup form, chances are pretty high that more of the other 24 somewhat liked it. Most likely 20 of them didn't even bother t

   I'm just trying to differentiate between this guy who is sending 30k emails to people that might likely be interested in his business and some viagra seller that sends ten million emails a day to any address he can get his hands on.

    Sure, but it also generally means large quantities of those (regarding email I don't think 30k qualifies as large quantities). My personal definition would be that the messages were sent without any thought if the audience might be int

    A 4% signup rate actually signifies really well targeted emails. Not everyone who doesn't sign up is annoyed by the mail (or did even open or read it). I think this is far from beeing spam, where you would see signup rates well below 1

    It's like some personal side project that the creator forgot about and now shuts down after he heard it got hacked. Pretty wild for a former core product of a multibillion dollar company.

    You're right, I don't think this particular question was set up. And I don't blame Gabriel for answering. What I wanted to say is, that as a reader the answer to the general question "Is product X good?" by the owne

    No offense to Gabriel or DDG, but this kind of question on quora always looks a bit set-up. If you take DDG out it reads like "Why should I use <specific product>?", to which the creator/CEO/Owner of <specific p
